How to play Connections

I have a full guide to playing Connections, but here’s a refresher on the rules:

1. Find the Connections game either on the New York Times website or in their Crossword app.

2. You’ll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase. Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common. Sometimes there is wordplay involved and other times they are all the same type of thing.

3. Select four items and hit the Submit button. If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed. If your guess was incorrect, you’ll get a chance to try again.

4. You win when you’ve correctly identified all four groups. But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.

How to win Connections

The most important thing to know to win Connections is that the groupings are designed to be tricky. Expect to see overlapping groups and wordplay involved. Take your time and make sure your group of four contains only those four things before submitting your answer.

If you’re stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to have no connection to the others. Sometimes these words can lead you to the correct group.

Another way to win when you’re stuck is to read a few helpful hints. Below are some spoiler-free hints for the groupings in today’s Connections game:

• Yellow category – Your big day!
• Green category – Completely cased, cowled, and capped.
• Blue category – We’re missing a Skellington and a Sprat.
• Purple category – This is not what’s usually meant by last names…

There’s also a category that involves incomplete answers where you’ll need to add something to each of the words on the tiles to get the full words.

Today’s Connections categories and answers:

Yellow: BRIDAL ACCESSORIES

Words: BOUQUET, RING, TRAIN, VEIL

Green: “C” WORDS FOR “ENVELOP”

Words: CAKE, COAT, COVER, CRUST

Blue: JACKS

Words: BLACK, FROST, MA, SPARROW

Purple: SOCIAL MEDIA APP ENDINGS

So that’s all for NYT Connections #106! Hopefully, this guide has given you some insights and strategies to improve your gameplay. Good luck with your puzzling adventure!
