Overview
Connections on Puzzle Junkies presents sixteen surface-neutral words hiding four cohesive groups of four. Categories range from straightforward to wicked — sometimes a red herring word could almost fit two themes, so lateral thinking wins.
Each day is a single board with limited mistakes allowed before the game ends, echoing the tension of the genre’s best paper traditions. Solve cleanly for bragging rights and a higher score toward your streak.

How to play
- Select four words you believe share a hidden theme.
- Submit a group; if correct, those words leave the pool.
- Incorrect guesses consume a life; uncover all four groups to win.
Strategy tips
- Start with slam-dunk associations, then test ambiguous outliers last.
- Watch for heteronyms — the same spelling, different meanings.
- If two categories feel equally plausible, look for the tighter fit.
