How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four groups of four based on shared themes. The categories are color-coded: yellow is the easiest and purple the trickiest. The New York Times Help Center notes that words may appear to fit multiple categories, even though each puzzle has exactly one solution. See the official Connections help page.
Playing or replaying the puzzle
The daily game releases at midnight in the player’s local timezone and is available on the New York Times Games website and apps. The full Connections archive, which includes puzzles dating back to June 12, 2023, is available to All Access and Games subscribers; archive replay is not available to every reader. Details are in the NYT Help Center.
