The NYT 's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times.

The Times now has a Connections Bot, like the one for Wordle.
