How to play Connections
Connections gives you 16 words to sort into four secret groups of four. The catch: some words look like they fit several groups, and only one grouping is right.
Make your own Connections puzzle and share it with a link.
How to play
- Pick the four words you think share a hidden connection and submit them.
- A correct group locks in; a wrong guess costs one of your limited tries.
- Clear all four groups before you run out of guesses.
Tips & strategy
- Start with the group you are most certain about, not the trickiest.
- Watch for decoys — a word that seems to fit two groups usually belongs to the less obvious one.
- If two groups compete for a word, solve the other groups first to force the answer.
Accessibility
Groups are labelled with text and difficulty tiers, not colour alone, and the grid is fully keyboard-navigable.
