Connections presents 16 words for players to sort into four groups of four. Some words can appear to fit more than one theme, so rearranging the grid can help reveal a different pattern. The 2024 guides describe the game as available through the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile and note that players can make up to four mistakes; those are dated descriptions, not confirmation of current access or rules. See the contemporary overviews from TechRadar and Forbes.
