Connections is a category-matching puzzle game from The New York Times where you're presented with a set of 16 words every day.
Your goal is to sort them into four groups of four. Each group is based on a common or niche theme, such as movie titles or prize types. The word groupings can be deceptively tricky, and a few categories might throw you off, but that's the appeal of the game. You'll be testing your ability to connect words in ways you didn't think were possible.
With only four lives to solve each daily puzzle, every guess in Connections counts. One wrong move can send your whole strategy spiraling, so that's where we come in to help.
