CONNECTIONS
Pick four words that belong together. Got it right? The group opens up. Four misses and the puzzle is over.
How Connections works
You get sixteen words that form four groups of four. Select four words and check — if you're right, the group opens up, connection included.
A wrong check costs a life; "one away" means you were close to a group. After four misses the puzzle is over and the solution is revealed.
The four groups run from easy to sneaky, and plenty of words are meant to look like they fit more than one group. Start with the group you're most sure of.
