How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four sets of four that share a theme. The New York Times Help Center says each puzzle has one solution, and warns that words may be tricky because they can appear to fit more than one category. The colors indicate difficulty, from yellow as the easiest to purple as the trickiest.
