NYT's 'Connections' Puzzle Reaches Milestone with Game #600

The popular word game, launched in June 2023, celebrates its 600th puzzle with continued success as the New York Times' second most-played game after Wordle.

Connections challenges players to group 16 words into four categories based on shared themes, with difficulty levels ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest).
Puzzle #600 includes categories such as 'Storage Containers,' 'Schnozz,' 'Ones With Discerning Tastes,' and 'Starts of Swimming Strokes.'
Hints and shuffle functionality are available to assist players in navigating the often tricky word associations.
The game was developed by Wyna Liu, a New York Times crossword editor, who advises players to take their time and avoid premature guesses.
Connections is released daily at midnight local time, continuing to engage players with its mix of wordplay and strategy.
