How Connections works
The New York Times Help Center explains: “Players are given 16 words and must find groups of four items that share something in common.” The categories are color-coded Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, from easiest to trickiest. The game has one solution, though individual words may seem to fit more than one theme. NYT Connections rules.
