NYT Connections

Group sixteen words into four hidden categories — but the links are deliberately tricky.

Connections is a daily puzzle published by the New York Times in which players are presented with 16 words and must sort them into four groups of four, each sharing a hidden connection. The categories are colour-coded by difficulty: Yellow (easiest), Green, Blue, and Purple (hardest). Players have four chances to guess incorrectly before the game ends.

How to play

Read all 16 words carefully before making any selections.
Select four words you believe share a category, then click "Submit".
If correct, those four words are removed and their category revealed. If wrong, you lose one of your four attempts.
The category description is only revealed once you correctly select its group.

Strategy tips

Beware the red herrings. The NYT deliberately includes words that seem to fit an obvious category but actually belong elsewhere. A word that appears to fit three groups almost certainly belongs to the one you least expect.
The Purple category typically has an abstract or wordplay connection — "___ something", "things that can follow X", or cultural references. Treat unusual groupings as potential Purple answers.
Start with Yellow (easiest) to narrow down the board, but if you're uncertain, start with whichever group you feel most confident about regardless of colour.
Use the "Shuffle" button if the layout is confusing you — sometimes a fresh arrangement reveals patterns.
