Connections is the second-most popular game at The New York Times after Wordle.
Even though it’s popular, it can be tough to solve, so Newsweek has come up with some clues to get you over the line in today’s game.
How to Play ‘Connections’
In Connections, players must group together words they think have common threads to reveal the name of their corresponding categories.
Each puzzle has 16 words, and each group of words is separated into four categories. The uniting themes can come from a broad range of subjects ranging from similar sounds to geometry terms.

If all four words are correctly placed into each set, those words will be removed from the board, and their category will be revealed at the top. Each incorrect guess counts toward the mistake tally. Players can make up to four mistakes before the game ends.
But, be careful; the game’s creator and editor Wyna Liu said the words’ original placement on the board are specifically done to trick people and that some words could belong to more than one category.
Liu added that, if you realize that there are five or more words that belong to one category, try pivoting to a different group before making your first guess.
“Doing so might take one of those extra cards out of contention, or at least remove a few cards from the board, making other categories easier to see,” Liu said.
Connections has become so popular since going public in June that it is now The New York Times’ second most-played word game, after Wordle.
The answers for today’s Connections will be revealed at the end of this article, so please scroll down with caution if you want to work them out for yourself.
