What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is a challenging word game by the New York Times that prompts players to group four items that share a common trait. The game features different difficulty levels, from easy (green) to very difficult (purple).
Although it may be slightly more complex than games like Wordle, NYT Connections allows for up to four mistakes and provides a process of elimination for the final group. Keep an eye out for wordplay tricks and homophones that could lead you astray.
You can enjoy the game for free on the NYT Games site on both desktop and mobile devices.
