How to play Connections

Playing is straightforward, but winning is challenging. Examine the 16 words and mentally assign them to related groups of four. Click on the four words that you believe go together. The groups are color-coded, although you won’t know where each group belongs until you see the answers. The yellow group is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple, which is the toughest. Carefully review the words and consider related terms. Sometimes the connection could be related to just a part of the word. For example, once four words were grouped because each started with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
