What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is a popular word game series by the New York Times. It challenges players to find groups of four items that share a commonality. Each group has a different difficulty level, ranging from easy (green) to very challenging (purple). Players can make up to four mistakes and eliminate answers through a process of elimination.

Unlike simpler word games like Wordle, NYT Connections offers more complexity and potential for tricky twists. Watch out for word disguises and other sneaky tactics that may trip you up.

The game is available for free on the NYT Games website on desktop and mobile.
