How to Play Connections
In Connections, players are presented with a grid of 16 words and must identify four groups of four words that share a common connection. The challenge lies in the deliberate ambiguity, as words often appear to fit into multiple categories, making the most obvious connections frequently incorrect.
The Times offers a Connections Bot, similar to the one for Wordle, where players can receive a numeric score and analysis of their answers. Registered Times Games users can track their progress, including puzzles completed, win rate, perfect scores, and win streaks.
