How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort sixteen words into four groups of four that share a category. The groups are color-coded by difficulty. In a July 21, 2025 guide to this puzzle, TechRadar’s Johnny Dee noted that “You can make up to four mistakes.” That guide described the game as playable through NYT Games on desktop or mobile; those access details reflect its July 2025 account, not a guarantee of current terms.
