What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is an engaging word game created by the New York Times. It challenges players to identify groups of four items that share a common link, with varying difficulty levels ranging from easy (green) to very challenging (purple).
Players are allowed up to four mistakes and do not need to solve the final group entirely, as elimination can lead to the correct answer. This game offers a more intricate experience compared to simple word games like Wordle, with potential tricks and wordplay elements to watch out for during gameplay.
You can enjoy playing NYT Connections for free on the NYT Games site across desktop and mobile platforms.
