Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox video game Connections is a 2023 word puzzle developed and published by The New York Times. It was released for PC on June 12, 2023, during its beta phase. It is the second most played game that is published by Times, behind Wordle.[1][2][3]

Several figures associated with Only Connect, a British television quiz show, commented on its similarity to the Connecting Wall in the program.[4]

Gameplay

In Connections, the player has four attempts to clear a grid of sixteen squares. They must select four squares at a time that fit under a specific category (e.g., dog, cat, fish, and parrot for the category "Household Pets").[5]

Development

The games department of the Times hosts an annual game jam in which participants suggest ideas for upcoming games to release to the website.[6] Connections had been in development for a year before releasing in its beta phase on June 12, 2023.[1][7] Wyna Liu, editor of the Times and ConnectionsШаблон:Apostrophes puzzles, was inspired by cartoonist Robert Leighton, who made puzzles involving wordplay.[8]
