How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort words into groups based on shared themes. The New York Times Help Center notes that each puzzle has exactly one solution, while words may seem to fit more than one category. You can access NYT Games on nytimes.com/games, as well as through The Athletic, the NYT News App, and The Athletic App. For the official overview, see the NYT Help Center guide to Connections.
