How to play Relationships
Every day, Relationships presents players with a grid of 16 words. Your goal is to group them into four sets of four based on common themes or characteristics.

These groups are color-coded by difficulty level: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest). When you correctly identify a group, those words will be highlighted and removed from the grid. The matching color will reveal how challenging the group was meant to be.
You can only make four incorrect guesses before the game ends, so choose carefully! There is no time limit, so take your time and consider shuffling the board if you get stuck. Sometimes a new perspective can help you spot connections more easily.
Relationships Editor Wyna Liu suggests that if you find five words that could fit into a category, it’s often best to try categorizing a different group first. This strategy can help you determine where words actually belong through the process of elimination.
