In Connections, youโre given 16 different words and asked to sort them into four secret categories. Choose 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 breakfast foods or terms of endearment to classic video games or words with double letters. You only have four chances to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
