How Connections works
The New York Times describes Connections as a word game in which players sort sixteen words into four groups of four based on a shared connection. The groups are color-coded from Yellow, the easiest, through Green and Blue to Purple, the trickiest. The Times says each puzzle has one solution and may include words that appear to fit more than one category. Its editors curate words and categories using the Oxford Dictionary.
