Connections is a puzzle of hidden links. Sixteen words sit in a grid, and they secretly split into four groups of four — maybe four shades of a colour, four things that follow the word "sea", four words that are also names. Your task is to untangle them.
You are shown sixteen words that secretly belong to four groups of four. Your job is to work out the groups by selecting four words you think belong together and submitting them. Find all four groups before you use up your four mistakes.
You get four mistakes. Every time you submit four words that are not a complete group, you lose one. Use all four and the puzzle ends, revealing the groups you missed.
If your guess has three words from one group and one word from another, the game tells you that you are "one away". It is a strong hint that you have almost found a group and just need to swap a single word.
Yes. Some words look like they fit several groups, and that overlap is the heart of the puzzle. The four groups range from straightforward to tough, shown by colour once solved, so save the trickiest connection for when fewer words remain.
No. This version is unlimited — each game serves a complete puzzle, and you can start a brand-new one whenever you like rather than waiting for a daily release.
No. These are our own original puzzles, written in-house. The game uses the same satisfying "group the words" idea but none of the puzzles are copied from anywhere.
