What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is a popular word game created by the New York Times that challenges players to find groups of four items with something in common. The game features different difficulty levels for each group: green (easy), yellow (moderate), blue (challenging), and purple (very difficult).

Players can make up to four mistakes and utilize the process of elimination to arrive at the final answer, providing some flexibility in gameplay. While more intricate than games like Wordle, NYT Connections offers a rewarding mental workout with its tricky word associations and deceptive clues.

Access the game for free on the NYT Games website using desktop or mobile platforms.
