What Is NYT Connections?
Ever since its launch back in June 2023, Connections has been a fan favourite amongst the readers of The New York Times. The game has garnered a fan base across both desktop and mobile screen users. It was designed by NYT editor Wyna Liu. The game gives the player a set of 16 words, and the challenge is to divide the words into four categories, where each category consists of four words. The division is done by spotting the similarities and patterns between the words.
Players are allowed up to four mistakes, and it is important to remember that only one correct combination exists. Each group varies in the difficulty level, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and the toughest, which is purple.
