How to Play:

Ready to test your wits with the NYT Connections puzzle? When you start, you’ll see a grid of 16 words. Your mission is to find four separate groups of four words that share a hidden, common connection. It could be anything from movie titles to things you find in a kitchen! Once you think you’ve cracked a group, select the four words and hit ‘Submit’. But here’s the catch: you only have four chances to make mistakes before the game ends. As you correctly identify a group, it will lock in and reveal its category, color-coded by difficulty from the straightforward Yellow to the notoriously tricky Purple. Understanding these categories is the key to victory!
