Connection by The New York Times is a daily word puzzle. The objective of the puzzle is to create groups of four from a given set of 16 words. The groups are color-coded based on their level of difficulty. Although the words may look random at first glance, they are actually connected by four hidden themes. To solve it, players must find out what the themes are and categorize the words accordingly. However, players will get only four guesses to solve it. Moreover, the game also provides a “one away…” hint.
