What is Connections?

Connections is a game published by The New York Times. The goal is simple: classify 16 words into 4 groups. The words in each group are connected by a common idea or theme. The common element can be anything. We have seen various forms of relationships, from games that depend on the number of letters in a word to categories that require additional letters to be added at the end of a word. The relationships between words cannot be predicted.

How to Predict the Connections Group

Handling Connections quickly and reliably is not like Wordle, but since Connections is not algorithmic, there are a few things to note. These tips can help you handle Connections more effectively.

1. Look for similar parts of speech. Are some words verbs and others nouns? Are some adjectives? Try to group them imaginatively based on these categories and see if other patterns become visible.
2. Are the words synonyms? Sometimes, categories can become synonyms or very close synonyms. However, don't rely on this too much. Sometimes, Connections inserts words that appear to be synonyms to mislead you.
3. Just say the words. Sometimes, saying the words can be helpful. One puzzle contains the words go, rate, faster, clip, pace, speed, move, commute, hurry, and they are clearly related to the idea of movement. But when you say them, it becomes a bit clear that only four of them (go, move, hurry, faster) are the ones you should say to actually prompt someone to move.
4. Red Halfing. Connections usually contain words that could be mistakenly grouped. For example, consider the words grape, cola, and light. These three words may look like they belong together, but they may not be in a category related to beer.
5. Find different words. If a word on the board doesn't have multiple meanings or can only be used in a specific context, try using that word as the basis for a category.
6. Shuffle the board. Sometimes, moving the words can give you a new perspective to observe them.

"If you can't solve it, don't worry—there will be another one tomorrow! And these words may be related to topics you are interested in, giving you a competitive advantage."
