How to play “Connections”
Relationships tasks players with grouping 16 words into four categories based on association. For example, Friday’s game combined the words “Bank”, “Dune”, “Hill” and “Mound” in the “Height Zone” category.

Each of the four categories is labeled with a color, which also indicates its difficulty level. Yellow is the simplest category, followed by green, blue and purple. The puzzles are rarely simple, using homophones and puns, among other techniques, to keep players challenged.
Players can sometimes find themselves misled by the fact that words can fall into two categories. Although this may be designed to confuse the player, each group can only have four unique words.
If stuck, players can press the shuffle button, which will shuffle where words appear on the screen.
