Word lovers band together! Discover the mysteries that lie within the connections to the New York Times. You will be provided with four new puzzles today, each full of sixteen words begging to be organised according to their unseen relationships.
Do you like playing word games? Prepare to meet Connections, your new best friend! This is a fantastic word puzzle game from Wyna Liu, the amazing puzzle maker of the New York Times (NYT).
How to play Connections: you get assigned sixteen words every day. Arranging them into four sections of four words each is your task. The twist is that each set has a hidden theme! It mirrors discovering unexpected relationships between words.
For example, consider the names “Baby,” “Mother,” “Pamper,” and “Spoil.” Despite their apparent randomness, they are all characters from the “Excessive Care”.
You can even get hints from the game about how difficult each pair of words is. It’s simple if it’s yellow. Blue is medium, purple is truly mind-boggling, and green is a little more challenging.
