Game Play of NYT Connections

In the gameplay, each puzzle offers you 16 words. You have to group four words sharing a common theme, making it a total of four groups of four words each. The groups can be anything, like words found on calculators, chemistry formulas, book titles, software, etc.

The confusing aspect of the game is that it might seem like multiple words fit together, however, there’s only one correct way to group them. If you accurately group all four words, they will disappear from the board. However, the game will end automatically if you make four mistakes. You also have the option to shuffle the words around to see connections more clearly.

Each group has been assigned a color including yellow, green, blue, and purple. When you correctly group four words, they glow up in one of these colors, indicating they belong to the same group. Once you identify all four sets, you solve the puzzle. For example, when I selected the four right words in a game, they popped up in yellow, as you can see in the image.
