What is Connect?

Connects is a game from The New York Times. The objective is simple: Divide 16 words into four groups. The words in each group are connected by some common idea or theme. This common element can be anything. We have games that work based on the number of letters, categories where you need to find additional characters at the end of a word, and even categories related to economics and fairy tales. The relationship between words cannot be predicted. If you feel confident in understanding Connect, select four words and press 'Submit'. You have a total of four attempts, so don't be too risk-averse.

How to Predict Connection Groups?

There is no quick and reliable method like Wordle for Connect. This is because Connect is not based on an algorithm. However, by remembering a few points, you may get some help. × Ad deletion

1. Look for similar parts of speech. Some words are verbs, while others are nouns? Some are adjectives? Try grouping them consciously based on these categories and check if any other patterns emerge.
2. Are the words the same meaning? Sometimes, categories can become synonyms or almost synonyms. However, don't rely too much on this. Sometimes, Connect intentionally puts words with similar meanings to mislead you.
3. Saying a word out loud might help. Sometimes, saying a word aloud makes it slightly clearer. One puzzle contains words like 'go', 'rate', 'quickly', 'clip', 'pace', 'speed', 'move', 'commute', and 'early'. These are all directly related to ideas of movement. However, saying them aloud makes it a bit clearer. The only ones you should encourage someone to say to move someone are 'go', 'move', 'early', and 'quickly.'
4. Expected misdirection. Connect usually contains words that are likely correct but incorrectly grouped. For example, consider the words 'bad', 'collar', and 'light'. You might instinctively think these three words go together and belong to a category related to beer, but they don't.
5. Find different words. If a word on the board has multiple meanings or is not used in one context, try using that word as the basis for a category.
6. Shuffle the board. Sometimes rearranging the positions of the words can provide a new perspective to look at it.
