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 common factor. Each group has a different level of difficulty, ranging from easy to very challenging. Players can make up to four mistakes and can solve the final group by process of elimination.

The game offers a more complex challenge compared to Wordle, with tricks and wordplay that can stump even seasoned players. It is available for free on the NYT Games site on both desktop and mobile platforms.
