What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is an exciting addition to the word game lineup offered by the New York Times. It invites players to group four items that share a common trait, with varying levels of difficulty. The color-coded system indicates the challenge level, with green being the easiest, yellow slightly harder, blue often more difficult, and purple typically the hardest.
The beauty of the game lies in its flexibility—players can make up to four mistakes, allowing for a bit of leeway while figuring out the correct groups. Unlike simpler games like Wordle, NYT Connections presents complex opportunities for players to be tripped up by homophones and other linguistic tricks.
You can enjoy playing for free via the NYT Games site, accessible on both desktop and mobile.
