What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a popular word game series created by the New York Times. Players are tasked with identifying groups of four items that share a common attribute, with varying difficulty levels: green (easy), yellow (moderate), blue (challenging), and purple (very tough).
While solving the final group is optional, elimination can guide you to the correct answer. Additionally, players can make up to four mistakes, providing some leeway.
Unlike simpler games like Wordle, NYT Connections offers more complexity and potential pitfalls, including disguised answers through wordplay and clever tricks.
The game is accessible for free on desktop or mobile via the NYT Games site.
