Puzzle editor Wyna Liu is credited with creating the game and bringing it to the Games section of the publication. Connections can be played on web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to group four words that have something in common. Each puzzle contains 16 words split into four categories. These categories can consist of book titles, software, country names, and more. While multiple words may seem to fit together, there is only one correct answer. When a player correctly identifies all four words in a set, those words are removed from the board. Guessing incorrectly counts as a mistake, and players have up to four mistakes before the game ends. Players also have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to make finding connections easier. Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.
