The New York Times' Connections is a seriously fun word game. It drops a new puzzle at midnight daily, challenging you to group 16 words into four sets of four based on their connections. These could be anything from types of food to colors to even words with related meanings!
The game is simple enough, yet it is tricky to solve and can present an unexpected and significant difficulty! This can become challenging even with that handy shuffle option for those words available for each individual player, yet, it is important for every person to pay close attention; using critical thinking which will really pay off here, folks!
You get three tries for each group, otherwise the game is over and your brain has failed, folks! You're encouraged to share those scores; using any messaging system and posting these achievements across several social media and group chat platforms.
