How to Play Connections
Connections is a daily word game focused on finding links between words.Players need to select four groups of four words while making no more than three mistakes.

The game presents a grid of 16 words that you must organise into four sets of four by discovering their connections. These sets might include themes like video game titles, book series names, shades of colors, or restaurant chains.
Some words may seem suitable for multiple categories; however, there is only one correct grouping for each set. You have the option to shuffle the grid if needed to better visualize potential connections.
the groups are colour-coded based on difficulty: yellow is easiest; green follows; then blue; and finally purple.
