How to Play Connections
The rules are simple, but the puzzles are tricky. Here's everything you need to know.
Select 4 Words
Click or tap four words you believe share a connection. Then press Submit. If you're right, the group is revealed and removed from the board. If wrong, you lose a mistake.
Find All 4 Groups
Keep finding groups until the board is clear. You have 4 mistakes to work with. Groups are color-coded by difficulty: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest).
🎓 Pro Tips
- Beware of decoys. Some words can fit multiple categories. The trickiest words are often placed to lure you into the wrong group.
- Start with the obvious. Get the easiest (yellow) group out of the way first. This clears the board and reduces temptation.
- Think beyond synonyms. Groups can be based on wordplay, homophones, things that precede or follow a word, compound words, pop culture, and more.
- Use Undo strategically. If you accidentally submit a wrong guess, use Undo within the same turn to restore your mistake — but only before submitting again.
- The Hint button helps when stuck. It reveals which group a highlighted word belongs to, without giving you the full answer.

Background
What Is Connections?
Connections is a word-grouping puzzle game where players must find four groups of four words that share a hidden connection. Each puzzle has 16 words, and each word belongs to exactly one group.
The game was popularized by The New York Times and has become a daily habit for millions of word puzzle fans. Its appeal lies in the "aha!" moment when you finally spot a connection that was hiding in plain sight all along.
The groups can be based on synonyms (words that mean the same thing), wordplay (homophones, hidden words), compound words (words that form common phrases when combined with others), pop culture (movie titles, band names), and countless other categories.
Connections Unlimited takes the classic format and removes the daily limit. Play as many puzzles as you want, track your streak, and improve your word-association skills with every game.
