The World of NYT Connections
When you first enter NYT Connections, you will see a grid of 16 different words. What's your job? Find these links between the words and put them into groups of four. This will make them into different categories that will test your ability to think outside the box.
How to Play NYT Connections
Grid Exploration: Start your journey by looking around the 4x4 grid, which is cleverly split into four secret groups. Keep an eye out for small connections and ties between the words that will help you figure out what the main ideas are.
Grouping Mastery: As you find links between words, put them into sets of four to make categories that make sense. Watch as words that don't seem to go together form complex patterns and links that will test your ability to think critically and use language well.
Category Completion: The final goal of NYT Connections is to figure out all the categories by carefully putting words into groups based on how they are connected. Take on the challenge, go with your gut, and let your imagination shine as you figure out what's going on in the grid.
Thinking strategically: You only have four chances to put words into groups, so each choice is important. To improve your chances of solving a problem, think strategically about each one, look for trends, and make smart moves.
