What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is a popular word game brought to you by the New York Times. It challenges players to find groups of four items that share a common trait, with varying levels of difficulty for each group. Green groups are easy, while purple groups are the most challenging.

Players have the opportunity to make up to four mistakes, providing a bit of leeway for those tricky groupings. The game is available for free on the NYT Games website for both desktop and mobile devices.

It’s a more complex game than Wordle, so be prepared for some tricky wordplay that could trip you up along the way.
