What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is a challenging word game series created by the New York Times. The game involves grouping four items that share a common trait, with varying difficulty levels for each group. From easy (green) to very difficult (purple), players must use their word association skills to excel.

While the game can be tricky, players have the benefit of being able to eliminate incorrect options and make up to four mistakes. Be wary of wordplay tricks and subtle hints that may lead you astray during gameplay.
