The New York Times may have hard hitting journalism, but they also have a slew of fun mind games that are super fun to play every day.
The premise of the game is super simple: match the given words into groups of four based on what they have in common, or what connects them.
The connections can be super simple, like fruits, articles of clothing or cities. More times than not, however, the connections are super tricky, and you really have to think hard about it. Connections changes every day, so each morning you have a new puzzle to figure out, much like Wordle. You get four chances to guess the four connections, which really isn’t a lot of tries with how tricky these puzzles can be.
By just playing one of Connections, you will understand just how tricky the writers of the game are trying to be. For instance, a few days ago, one of the categories ended up being “shirt features,” and the connecting words were button, collar, cuff and pocket. However, they also included the word tie, which was a part of a different category.
Here’s another example. One day, there were a few words that had to do with bowling. Ball, pin, lane and alley were all there. So was spare, which is also a bowling term. Spare was used in a different category, alongside the words extra, copy and backup. That category was backup words. Spare could easily be used in both categories, and I guessed it in the bowling category until I realized it could also be used in a different category.
