Connections game: find the 4 hidden groups of words
Sixteen words sit on the table. Work out which ones belong together and build four groups of four. Watch out: every group has a hidden category, and some words seem to fit more than one.
How to play Connections
Tap four words you think belong together. To change your pick, tap a selected word again to deselect it.
Tap “Submit”. If all four share a category, the group is revealed with its name. If three are right, the game says “One away!”.
You have 4 mistakes. Find all four groups before you run out. When the game ends, the groups you missed are shown.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a group is right?
You only find out when you submit. If the four words share a category, the group is revealed with its name. If three of them do, the game says “One away!”, but the submission still counts as a mistake.
Do the puzzles change?
Yes. Tap “Another puzzle” to switch. The game uses a set of original puzzles written for this site and picks one at random each time.
