Connections Game

Connections is an engaging word puzzle game where players use their knowledge to find links between words! This daily word game has captured the hearts of millions of puzzle enthusiasts worldwide. Your challenge is to organize 16 words into 4 distinct groups of 4 related words each.

How to Play

Browse the Word Grid

Start with a grid of 16 randomly arranged words. These words can be sorted into 4 groups of 4, with each group sharing a common theme or characteristic.

Select Words

Click to select words. Choose 4 words that you think belong to the same category. Selected words will be highlighted. The connections between words can be based on types, characteristics, idioms, or other associations.

Submit Your Guess

After selecting 4 words, click 'Submit' to check if they're correctly grouped. If correct, the group will be marked complete and its category revealed. If incorrect, you'll lose one of your attempts.

Continue Playing

Keep finding the remaining groups. Be careful: you only have 4 mistakes allowed. Each wrong guess reduces your remaining attempts. Once you run out of attempts, the game ends, and you'll need to wait until tomorrow for a new puzzle.

Strategy Tips

Take your time to think before making selections. Start by looking for obvious categories, such as fruits (like apple, peach, banana, cherry) or school-related terms (teacher, student, book, school). Remember that words can have multiple meanings, and consider common phrases and idioms. Sometimes the least obvious connection might be the correct answer. Each puzzle is carefully designed to challenge your word association skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic rules of Connections?

Connections is a word grouping game with simple rules:
• You need to find 4 groups of 4 related words
• Each group shares a common theme or category
• You have 4 attempts to make mistakes
• All words must be used exactly once

How do I know if my grouping is correct?

When you select 4 words and submit your guess, if they form a valid group, they will be removed from the board and their category will be revealed. If incorrect, you'll lose one of your 4 attempts.

What types of connections should I look for?

Words can be connected in various ways: they might be synonyms, belong to the same category (like fruits or colors), form parts of common phrases, or share other characteristics. Sometimes the connection might be subtle or require lateral thinking.

What's the best strategy to solve the puzzle?

Start by looking for obvious categories or themes. Once you find one group, the remaining words become easier to organize. Don't rush - take time to consider multiple possible connections, and remember that sometimes the most obvious grouping isn't always correct.

Can words have multiple possible connections?

Yes! Words can often seem to fit into multiple categories, but there's only one correct solution. This is part of what makes the game challenging - you need to find the specific connections the puzzle designer intended.

What happens when I run out of attempts?

If you make 4 incorrect guesses, the game ends and the correct solutions are revealed. You'll need to wait until the next day to try a new puzzle. Each day brings a completely new set of words and connections.

Is there a time limit for solving the puzzle?

No, there's no time limit. You can take as long as you need to think about the connections. However, remember that it's a daily puzzle, so you'll want to solve it before the next day's puzzle becomes available.

Can I play previous days' puzzles?

Currently, only the daily puzzle is available to play. Each day brings a new challenge, so make sure to come back daily to test your word connection skills!
