How Connections works
Each day you get a 4×4 grid of 16 words. Sort them into four groups of four that share a hidden connection. The groups are colour-coded by difficulty — yellow is the most straightforward, green and blue sit in the middle, and purple is the trickiest, often a wordplay or category twist. You get four mistakes before the game ends. Watch out for words that seem to fit two groups — those overlaps are the classic traps.
Connections is a free daily word game from The New York Times, alongside Wordle, the Mini and Spelling Bee. Play it in the NYT Games app or on the web. This is an independent reference — not affiliated with The New York Times — that keeps a searchable record of every day's board and answers.
