What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is an engaging word game developed by the New York Times. The game challenges players to identify groups of four items that share a common characteristic. With varying levels of difficulty, from easy to very challenging, NYT Connections is a great way to test your word skills.

Although the game may seem daunting, you have the opportunity to make up to four mistakes before failing. Additionally, by process of elimination, you can deduce the final answer even if you struggle with some groups.

Unlike simpler word games like Wordle, NYT Connections requires a deeper level of thinking and may present tricky wordplay to keep you on your toes. The game can be played for free on the NYT Games website on both desktop and mobile devices.
