The objective is simple: sort 16 words into groups of 4. Each group of words will be connected by some common idea or theme. That common element could be anything. We have seen everything from games that rely on the number of letters in the words to categories that require you to spot an extra letter at the end of the word. Sometimes they&#8217;re references to economics, other times they reference fairy tales. There is no telling what sort of association there will be between words.<\/p>\n<p>Connections is a game from the New York Times that challenges you to find the association between words.

Are some words verbs and others nouns? Are some adjectives? Try mentally grouping them based on those categories and see if any other patterns jump out at you.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        <strong>Are the words synonyms?<\/strong> Sometimes categories will just be synonyms for a phrase, or very close to synonyms. Don&#8217;t rely too closely on this, though. Occasionally, Connections will deliberately throw in words that are <em>sometimes <\/em>synonyms to mislead you.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        <strong>Try saying the words.<\/strong> Sometimes, saying the words helps. One puzzle we saw included the words go, rate, faster, clip, pace, speed, move, commute, and hurry\u2014all of which are obviously related to the idea of motion. However, when you say them, it becomes a little more obvious that only four (go, move, hurry, faster) are things you&#8217;d actually say to prompt someone to get moving.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        <strong>Expect the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/red%20herring\">red herring<\/a>. <\/strong>Connections usually has words that could be plausibly, yet incorrectly, grouped together. Take the words Bud, Corona, and Light, as an example. You might instinctively see those three words together and assume they&#8217;re lumped together in a category related to beer\u2014but they weren&#8217;t.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        <strong>Look for distinct words. <\/strong>If a word on your board doesn&#8217;t have multiple meanings or can really only be used in one context, try using that word as the basis for a category.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        <strong>Shuffle the board. <\/strong>Sometimes, moving words around will help you look at them in new ways.\n                        <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t solve this one, don&#8217;t feel too bad\u2014there&#8217;s always tomorrow! And those words may align with a topic you&#8217;re interested in, giving you a leg up on the competition. Once you&#8217;re confident you understand the connection, select 4 words, then hit &#8220;Submit.&#8221; You have only four attempts in total, so don&#8217;t be too guess-happy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connections is a game from the New York Times that challenges you to find the association between words.
