Connections

Group sixteen words into four hidden sets.

8.8/10★★★★★★★★★★

Our verdict

Connections asks you to sort sixteen words into four secret groups, and the joy is in the misdirection — words that look like they belong together almost never do. It is the rare daily that rewards stepping back and rethinking rather than brute force. The purple group can occasionally feel like a stretch, but the aha moments more than make up for it.

Pros

Brilliant lateral-thinking puzzle Four overlapping categories per board Free and quick to play

Cons

Difficulty swings day to day Purple group can feel arbitrary

Best for	People who love finding hidden links between words
