How NYT Connections works
Connections presents 16 words that must be divided into four groups of four. Each group shares a hidden connection. The categories are color-coded by difficulty: yellow, green, blue and purple. Overlapping meanings, wordplay and red herrings can make a word seem to fit more than one group.
