General Strategies:
- Think like the editor: Connections is created by an NYT editor, so try to see the connections they might have intended for the words.
- Shuffle the words: This can help break up any initial bias and give you a fresh perspective on the connections.
- Don't be fooled by easy matches: The game might present some seemingly obvious connections to distract you. Look for the deeper relationships between the words.
Making Connections:
- Look for groups of four: Connections are always made between four of the words. Don't try to fit five words into a category.
- Focus on single words: If you're stuck, pick a word and brainstorm how it could connect to the others. Consider different parts of speech or its use in phrases and compounds.
- Work strategically: Try to find the most obvious connection first. This can make it easier to see how the remaining words fit together.
- Use the "wrong guess" feedback: After a wrong guess, the game slightly reveals the connection for that group. Use this information to adjust your strategy.
Additional Tips:
- Break down big words: If there are complex words, consider how their root words or parts of speech might connect.
- Learn from past games: Pay attention to the types of connections used in past puzzles. This can help you get on the right track for future games.
- Take a step back when close: If you think you have three connections figured out, double-check everything before submitting your answer.
