The NYT Connections game, which launched on June 12, 2023, has achieved almost Wordle levels of ubiquity in recent months. In fact, it’s the second-most played NY Times app game to Wordle at this point.
Like most NY Times games, it’s a simple concept: on a board of sixteen-word boxes, find the four groups of four that fit together. The titular connections are not often obvious and sometimes extremely tenuous and/or infuriating, throwing you for a loop that’s understandable for any normal human brain.
