When playing The New York Timesโ Connections, 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 time measurement units or cities in Italy to element abbreviations or character names from The Sopranos. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
