Connections

The viral word-grouping puzzle, daily

Connections gives you 16 words and asks you to sort them into four hidden categories of four. But the words are deliberately tricky — almost everything could belong to two groups. You have four mistakes before the game ends. A fresh Connections puzzle is published every day.

How to Play Connections

  1. You see a 4x4 grid of 16 words.
  2. Tap four words you believe share a category.
  3. If correct, the group is locked in with its category name revealed.
  4. If wrong, you lose one of your four mistakes.
  5. Find all four groups to win the daily puzzle.

Tips & Strategies

Scan for obvious pairs first — "sun" and "moon" are likely together. Resist locking groups until you have seen all 16 words: early groups are often traps. Save your mistakes for late-game risks.
