In The New York Times’ Connections, you’ll get 16 different words and your goal is to sort them into four secret categories. You’ll pick four words or phrases that could be related and, if correct, 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 first names of N-SYNC members or farm animals to words with different meanings or racing terms. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
