What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a word game by the New York Times where players must find groups of four items that share a commonality. Each group has varying difficulty levels, with green being easy and purple being very challenging.
Players can make up to four mistakes and don’t necessarily need to solve the hardest group, as it can be deduced through process of elimination. The game can be played for free on desktop or mobile via the NYT Games site.
NYT Connections offers a more intricate challenge than other word games, with potential tricks like homophones and word disguises to keep players on their toes.
