Have you tried playing Connections yet, on the New York Times app (free)?

Asked by jca2 (16287points) August 28th, 2023

I started playing “Connections” about two weeks ago on the NY Times site. Sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s harder, sometimes it’s kind of easy. You can take as long as you need to play, but I usually finish it in about ten minutes. I play it on the NY Times site as I have a subscription but apparently the NY Times app is free and you can play it there. One of the hosts of a show I watch in the morning mentioned it a few weeks ago, and so I decided to check it out. I’m not into games, especially online, but this is quick and fun.

The article I’m linking says it’s the second most played game on the NY Times app.

The game comes out every night around midnight. It gives you 16 words and you have to group them into groups of 4. Some of the “connections” are obscure. You are allowed several incorrect attempts. It took me one or two separate games to figure out exactly how it works.
