Take your time and analyze each word carefully to make successful connections.

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is an engaging word game created by the New York Times. The game prompts players to find four items that share a common trait and offers different difficulty levels for each group: green (easy), yellow (medium), blue (hard), and purple (very challenging).

While solving the final group is not mandatory, you can deduce the answer through process of elimination. Additionally, players are allowed up to four mistakes, providing a bit of room for error.

Compared to simpler games like Wordle, NYT Connections requires more critical thinking and may include tricky elements like homophones or word puzzles to keep players on their toes. The game is available for free on the NYT Games website for both desktop and mobile platforms.
