Connections
Connections is a captivating word game that challenges your ability to spot patterns and associations between words. With a new puzzle released each day, players around the world return daily to test their knowledge and reasoning skills. Your objective? Sort 16 words into 4 groups of 4, with each group sharing a common theme or connection.
How to Play Connections
1. Explore the Grid
You’ll be presented with a grid of 16 words, randomly arranged. These words can be divided into four categories, each containing four related words.
2. Make Selections
Click on the words you believe belong together. Once you’ve selected four, they will be highlighted. Look for connections based on:
Shared characteristics
Common phrases or idioms
Categories (like animals, tools, or musical instruments)
Wordplay or double meanings
3. Submit Your Group
Click ‘Submit’ after selecting four words.
Correct? The group is confirmed, and the category will be revealed.
Incorrect? You’ll lose one of your limited guesses.
4. Complete the Puzzle
Continue identifying groups until all four are found—or until you’ve used your four incorrect attempts. If you run out of chances, the puzzle ends and you’ll need to wait for the next day’s challenge.
Tips for Solving Connections
Start with the Obvious – Look for clear themes like colors, numbers, or animals.
Watch for Wordplay – Words may share idiomatic or metaphorical links.
Be Cautious – Some words seem to fit multiple categories. Don't rush your guesses.
Think Laterally – A connection might not be literal. For example, "pitch," "bass," "note," and "scale" all relate to music.
Why Players Love Connections
This game isn’t just about vocabulary—it’s about pattern recognition, logic, and creative thinking. With only one puzzle per day and a limited number of guesses, each round becomes a fun, brain-teasing challenge you won’t want to miss.
