Following the extraordinary success of Wordlewhich The New York Times purchased in January 2022 for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, the newspaper reported Relationships in 2023.
A word-based game like Wordle, Relationships It quickly built a loyal following around the world, with some players discussing tactics and sharing their results on social media.
How to play “Connections”
The rules of Relationships are simple. Each day, the player is offered 16 words that he must divide into four distinct categories based on common characteristics.
Each of the four categories has a different color indicating its difficulty level. Yellow is supposed to be the easiest, followed by green, blue, and then purple. Players select four words they believe are related and if they are correct, they light up, indicating the difficulty color, and are removed from the board.
However, if a player guesses incorrect word groups four times, the game ends and he is defeated. There is no time limit for the game.

At any time, the player can shuffle the board, resulting in a random repositioning of the 16 words.
According to Relationships Editor Wyna Liu, if you have five cards that all seem to fall into the same category, your best bet might be to try to find a different category, then go back to the original category once you’ve eliminated some words.
She said: “This could remove one of those extra cards from the competition, or at least remove a few cards from the board, which would make the other categories easier to see.”
