What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a popular word game series developed by the New York Times. It challenges players to identify groups of four items with something in common, ranging from easy to very difficult levels. Players have the opportunity to make up to four mistakes, providing some room for error.
Unlike simpler word games like Wordle, NYT Connections requires a deeper level of word association and pattern recognition. Keep an eye out for tricky wordplay that can throw you off course.
