The connection was started in 2023, and since then it has hooked the users online. The popularity of this puzzle game has increased immensely day by day. The New York Times has other games too, and all these games you can access on the All Times platform, NYTimes.com/games/connection.
What is the NYT “Connection”?
It’s a word puzzle game, where they give you 16 words in a 4×4 grid. The words are divided into four sets; each set has a common theme or some similarity that connects them. You have to identify the four words that belong to the same set/theme. For example, if there are 16 words and among them, you see Apple, Banana, Pineapple, and Grapes, then you have an idea that they all have something in common.
After you select your four words, you will have to hit submit, and if it’s correct, then all the selected words will vanish from your screen, and then you will be left with the other 12 words. Similarly, you have to identify all four sets of words.
The groups/sets of words also have difficulty levels, which are denoted by a particular color. Yellow is the easiest, then comes green, blue, and lastly, the trickiest, purple. To identify all the correct four sets, you will be given 4 chances, and after that, the game will be over.
