How to Play Connections NYT

Playing Connections NYT is straightforward, but to be successful you need to really pay attention and have a good strategy. Here’s how to play:

1. Read the Words Carefully

Every game starts with 16 words. Thus, they should all be read closely and you should consider what the individual meaning of each word is, then look for groups that can be made from the 16 different words. This should be done in no rush, since understanding the individual meaning of words will help with forming a group.

Tip: If you have forgotten the meaning of a word or never learned it, you can quickly google the word and learn what it means and that knowledge will be helpful in finding its group.

2. Identify Common Themes

Next, make four words into groups that assign them to a common category. Ask yourself:

• Do they have a theme?
• Do they belong to a sub-category such as a type of sport, a type of animal, a type of color, a country, etc.?
• Could they be connected in an abstract or difficult way?

The connections could be fairly easy (like colors), or they could be more complicated (such as inventors or types of storm). Look closely for side bars or nuances in the individual words.

3. Select and Submit

When you have found at least four words to form a group:

• Select each of those four words by clicking or tapping on them.
• Then press the Submit button to see if you have selected a matching group of words.

If your selection was the correct grouping, the group will occupy its proper place in the puzzle, and you will be that much closer to finishing the game. A wrong selection will count against you as one of your four errors; once you make four errors (a total of three groups), the game ends and your score is tallied.

4. Finish All Groups

You will proceed with grouping the remainder of the words until all four groups are finished. You will see that the game uses color codes for all of the right selections, which will assist you with tracking your progress. There are some groupings that may seem easy by first glance, while others will require you to think of an abstract way to group them.
