The basis of The New York Times’ Connections is simple: you are given 16 different words and your goal is to sort them into four secret categories. Pick four words or phrases that could be related and, if correct, it will group them into their common association, or connection, if you will. Each category has its own color, with Yellow being the easiest to solve, then Green, Blue, and the hardest, Purple. The categories can range from greetings in different languages or flower parts to 2010s horror films or superhero names without the first word. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
With today’s Connections, the many short words can be quite intimidating, especially since some feel out of place. Something to keep in mind for puzzles like today’s is that many of the words usually have multiple meanings, so pay attention to them as you see any matches.
