The Connections puzzle is a popular game by the New York Times where the challenge is to find the common thread that ties four seemingly unrelated words together. Each day presents a new puzzle, and you have to solve it with only one solution. The game encourages you to shuffle the grid as many times as needed to see the words in a different way.

If you enjoy Connections, you may also like the board game Codenames, which tasks players with using clues to guess words from a grid. Both games rely on the multiple interpretations words can have. Connections also draws inspiration from Wordle, another popular puzzle game that the New York Times acquired in 2022.

Show off your skills to your Connections friends or challenge yourself by starting with the purple words and guessing them correctly on your first try!
