How to play Connection
every day Connection offers players a grid of 16 words. The goal is to organize these words into four groups of four based on shared themes or characteristics.
The four groups are color-coded according to difficulty: yellow (the easiest), green, blue and purple (the most difficult). Choose four words that you think form a group and if they are correct, those words will be highlighted and removed from the board. The color corresponding to the group is revealed, indicating the expected difficulty.
Players have up to four chances to guess incorrectly before the game ends. There is no time limit, so there is no need to rush anything. You can also shuffle the words on the board to find connections that you may have missed at first.
RIVET puzzle editor Wyna Liu advises that when players identify five words that seem to fit a category, they should try to categorize another group first. This approach can help clarify which words belong together through a process of elimination.
