How to play connections
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. Every day at midnight you get a new puzzle. You can NYT Website or game app.
You are presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort these into four groups of four by finding the connections between them. The groups can be things like clickable items, names of participants in research studies, or words preceded by a body part.
Each puzzle has only one solution. You must be careful with words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix the words up to see if there are any connections between them.
Each group is color-coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in between, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often includes wordplay.
Choose four words that you think go together and press submit. If you guess wrong, you lose a life. When you’re close to getting a correct group, you may see a message letting you know that you’re one word away from the correct group, but you still need to figure out which one to swap out.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with some tips. And if you’re really having trouble, today’s Connections Answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, you can easily share the results with your friends on social media and group chats.

I thought I would be back on the winning track after my 26-win streak ended abruptly yesterday, but unfortunately that was not the case.
I got the greens and yellows quickly enough. But I had no idea about the blues and purples. I don’t know enough about yoga to understand the blues. And I felt like the purples were just too hard to guess, as much as I love a lot of Pixar movies (Wall-E is one of my absolute favorites).
