Connections, a popular New York Times word game, has been challenging players’ brains since its debut. The game requires finding common threads between four words and resetting daily at midnight, making each puzzle progressively harder.
To play, group four words into categories of 16 words each. Correctly identifying the connections allows you to remove these words from the board, while incorrect answers incur mistakes until the game ends. Players can rearrange and color-code the board for easier spotting of patterns.
Today’s Puzzle Categories:
– Yellow: Perception (e.g., notice)
