Connections is a category-matching puzzle game developed and published by The New York Times as part of its popular NYT Games portfolio. Released on June 12, 2023, the game challenges players to group sixteen words into four secret categories based on a common theme. It has quickly become a daily ritual for many, establishing itself as the second-most-played game published by the Times, trailing only the cultural phenomenon Wordle.
The game's notable success stems from its integration into the Times' highly influential puzzle ecosystem, which drives significant daily traffic and engagement. Its clever, often tricky categorization requires logical and sometimes lateral thinking, creating a compelling and shareable challenge that resonates with a broad audience. This has solidified its status as a major player in the digital word game space.
Recently, the game has been featured prominently in news headlines from various media outlets. These articles typically provide daily hints, answers, and strategies for players, with many publications highlighting special editions of the puzzle.
