How Connections works
The New York Times’ Connections Help Center describes a daily game in which players sort 16 words into four groups of four. Groups are marked yellow, green, blue, and purple, from easiest to trickiest. Each puzzle has one solution, but words may seem to fit more than one theme, which is why a plausible grouping can still lead you astray.
