With Connections, you are given 16 different words, you must 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 deodorant brands or Ryan Gosling movies to initials of famous presidents or car brands with one of their letters switched out. You only get four chances to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
