What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a popular word game created by the New York Times. The game challenges players to find groups of four items that share something in common. Each group has a different difficulty level, ranging from easy to very difficult. Players can make up to four mistakes and do not need to solve the final group to complete the puzzle.
The game can be played for free on the NYT Games website on desktop or mobile. It offers a more in-depth challenge than games like Wordle, with opportunities for misdirection and wordplay tricks that keep players on their toes.
