What is NYT Connections?

Connections is a daily word puzzle from The New York Times. The goal is to arrange 16 words into four sets of four, with each set sharing a specific connection. A connection might involve an everyday category, a name, a familiar phrase or wordplay.

The NYT game allows four mistakes. This independent practice board offers unlimited attempts so you can explore combinations without changing your official game. Check the date before using a hint, or choose another puzzle from the calendar.

Connections tips

Start with a connection you can explain

Look for four words that fit the same precise idea. A loose association may work for three words while the fourth belongs somewhere else.

Try another meaning

A word can be a name, an action, a sound or part of a familiar phrase. Read it in a different context before ruling it out.

Use the colors to pace your clues

Yellow is usually the most direct connection, followed by green, blue and purple. Start with one color and reveal only as much as you need.

Plan before you submit

Rearrange the board to compare possible groups. If five words seem to fit one idea, check which word can also complete a different group.
