What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a popular word game from the New York Times where players must find groups of four items that share a common link. Each group has a different level of difficulty, from easy (green) to very challenging (purple).
Players have the flexibility to make up to four mistakes and can eliminate the final group through process of elimination. The game can be tricky with wordplay and hidden connections, offering a more involved experience than games like Wordle.
You can play for free on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
