How to play Relationships
Every day, Relationships presents players with a grid of 16 words. The goal is to organize these words into four groups of four, based on themes or common characteristics.
The four groups are color-coded according to their difficulty: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest). Select four words that you think form a group and, if correct, those words will be highlighted and removed from the board. The color corresponding to the group will be revealed, indicating the expected difficulty.

Players have up to four attempts to guess incorrectly before the game ends. There is no time constraint, so no need to rush. You can also shuffle the words on the board to help you spot connections you might have missed initially.
Relationships Editor Wyna Liu advises players to try to categorize another group of words first when they identify five words that seem to fit a category. This approach can help clarify which words belong in the same group through a process of elimination.
