The New York Times has plenty of word games to choose from: Obviously, there’s Wordle still, along with the crosswords, Spelling Bee and a lot more.
Now? Say hello to Connections, which is a new one that you might see the results of on social media when your friends share their score as little colored boxes.
The concept: You get 16 words in front of you. The goal is to find the common threads between them and make four groups of four. For example, there’s: Espresso, Latte, Americano and Cappuccino. You’d click on those four and submit it, and if you get it right (types of coffee drinks!) you’d move on to the next group. You have four mistakes before your puzzle ends.
It’s in beta, so we’ll see what happens with it:
Connections is a daily game about finding common threads between words. Players must select four groups of four words without making more than four mistakes. https://t.co/xGKrAicOWz
