What Is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is the New York Times’ daily word game that tests your pattern‑spotting skills.

Every morning, you see a four-by-four grid of 16 seemingly unrelated words. Your mission is to sort them into four thematically linked groups of four.

To keep things engaging:

  • Four guesses per puzzle. Each correct group lights up in one of four colors (yellow, green, blue, purple) to show rising difficulty.
  • Drag‑and‑drop or shuffle the board whenever you need a fresh angle.
  • One definitive solution, but plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.
  • Shareable results let you post your color‑coded grid and challenge friends.
