How to play Connections
Playing is easy. Winning is hard. Look at the 16 words and mentally assign them to groups of four related words. Click on the four words that you think go together. The groups are color-coded, but you don’t know what goes where until you see the answers. The yellow group is the easiest, then green, then blue, and purple is the hardest. Look closely at the words and think about related terms. Sometimes the connection is only part of the word. Once, four words were grouped together because each began with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
