Launched in beta on June 12, 2023, it has quickly become the second-most-played NYT game, trailing only the ever-popular Wordle.

Designed to challenge vocabulary and cognitive skills, the game tasks players with identifying hidden connections between 16 words and sorting them into four groups of four.

The puzzle has taken social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) by storm, with users sharing their daily wins and near-misses.

Created by Wyna Liu, associate puzzle editor at The New York Times, NYT Connections blends fun with mental exercise, making it a daily ritual for many word lovers.

How to Play NYT Connections

In NYT Connections, players receive a grid of 16 random words. The objective is to group these words based on their hidden connections.

Categories may include synonyms, antonyms, themes, or word associations. Each group of four words is color-coded for ease:

Yellow: Typically the simplest category.

Green and Blue: Moderate difficulty levels.

Purple: Often the trickiest, involving wordplay or complex associations.

Players can guess and submit word groups, but with only four lives, incorrect guesses can lead to “game over.” If a player is close to completing a group, the game might hint that they are “one word away,” prompting a swap to finalize the category.

Daily puzzles refresh at midnight, and players can track their streaks, monitor progress, and challenge friends. Accessible via the NYT website or app, Connections offers a fresh mental workout every day.
