NYT Connections is an online word game accessible on The New York Times website and Games application. The grid comprises 16 words that are classified into four categories with each of them having four words only, but all words related to a particular aspect. The themes can be as simple as directly related to the subject as can be more of an intellectual riddle to keep the contents unique and enticing. The color-coded groups also give one more method of sorting it out: yellow is usually the easiest and purple is the hardest.
The game requires precision. It is also important to consider how words fall under a particular category since many of the words can often be placed in several categories through logical reasoning. There are penalties for errant answers and incorrect guesses; however, the are permitted four wrong answers before they lose the game. A correct guess brings the satisfaction of finishing a group.
