The art of solving Connections
Connections is a word game that requires players to group 16 words into four categories of four based on commonalities. Each category is color-coded, ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (most challenging). The game’s objective is to find the groups without making four mistakes.
The game’s creator, Wyna Liu, has crafted a puzzle that is both engaging and challenging. Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.
