Connections gives you 16 different words and asks you 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 zoo animals or Guardians of the Galaxy heroes to element abbreviations or titles of Best Album winners at the Grammys. You only get four chances to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
