The New York Times’ Connections is a daily word game that fans can play online for free. It presents a set of 16 different words that players need to sort into groups of four. The words are connected by four hidden themes, but they are arranged in a random order. The objective is to figure out which words belong together in the same group and categorize them accordingly. However, the players will get only four guesses to make the correct choices. Furthermore, the game also offers a helpful “one away…” whenever a player comes close to selecting all the right words for a particular group.
