Puzzle games offer the ideal mix of mental engagement and relaxation, serving as a fun way to
decompress while keeping your brain active
.
NYT Connections is an online puzzle game
that’s fun to play
and acts as a daily mental exercise.
The goal of the game is to uncover the hidden links between words and group them into fours. The game presents you with 16 words divided into four groups of related terms.
Each group consists of four words connected by a secret link, and it’s your job to figure out what that link is.
If you can guess correctly, those words will be removed from the game board and you can continue – but if your guess is wrong, it’s counted as an error, and you’re only allowed up to four errors.
