What is Links?
Connections is a word puzzle game published daily by the NYT, hosts of the wildly popular Wordle puzzle. Created daily by crossword creator Wyna Liu, Connections presents you with a selection of 16 seemingly different words and you must group them together into four groups of four, with each group of four having a theme of common.
For example, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter” and “Wendy” are all characters from Peter Pan. Or to take another example, “Action,” “Ballpark,” “Go,” and “Stick” are all words that usually come just before the word “Figure.”
It’s your job to figure out what these threads are that tie the different words together – but be careful, because many times there are red herring links put there deliberately to throw you off! To win the game, you must find all four Links without making 4 mistakes. On your fourth mistake, it’s game over and the answer is revealed automatically.
Each of the four groups in each day’s link puzzle is also assigned a different color, which indicates how easy or difficult it is to find the Link. These colors are: yellow (easiest), green (easy), blue (medium) and purple (hardest).
That concludes today’s guide on how to solve the NYT Connections word puzzle.
