Connections Unlimited practice

Find four hidden groups of four words, then start another board.

An independent OttersPlay word-grouping game, not the New York Times daily Connections. Boards combine a finite set of original groups, so combinations eventually repeat.

Select four related words.

How to play

  1. Select four words you think share a category, then choose Submit four.
  2. A correct group is removed and its connection is revealed. An incorrect group costs one of four mistakes.
  3. Find all four groups before running out of mistakes. Shuffle to see the remaining words in a different order.

Look for competing meanings before submitting. A word can suggest more than one theme, so compare the remaining words and search for a second plausible set before locking in your first choice.

Questions about unlimited grouping games

Can I play another puzzle?

Yes. New board draws another combination from a finite group set; boards and individual categories can repeat.

Is this the official daily Connections puzzle?

No. This is an independent practice game with its own categories and is not affiliated with The New York Times.

What happens when I restart?

Restart restores the same board and all four mistakes. New board selects another mix of categories.
