🧩 Connections

How to Play Connections

Connections is a daily word puzzle where you group 16 words into 4 categories of 4. Each group shares a hidden connection — it could be anything from types of fruit to words that follow "fire". The challenge is figuring out which words belong together!

Rules

• Select 4 words you think share a connection and tap Submit
• Correct groups are revealed with their category name
• You have 4 mistakes — after that, remaining groups are revealed
• Groups are color-coded by difficulty: yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest)

Tips & Strategy

• Start with the group you're most confident about
• Look for obvious categories first (yellow difficulty)
• Watch out for words that seem to fit multiple groups — that's the trick!
• If you get "One away...", you have 3 of 4 correct — figure out which word doesn't belong
