Wordle icon
Wordle
The viral 5-letter word guessing game that took the world by storm. Created by Josh Wardle, this daily puzzle challenges players to guess a secret word in six attempts using color-coded feedback.

How to Play

Wordle revolutionized daily word games with its simple yet addictive gameplay. Each guess provides valuable clues: green letters are in the correct position, yellow letters are in the word but wrong position, and gray letters aren't in the word at all. With over 2,500 possible solutions and strategic letter placement, Wordle tests your vocabulary and deductive reasoning skills.

Winning Strategies

  • Start with words containing common vowels (A, E, I, O, U)
  • Use consonants like R, S, T, L, N in your first guesses
  • Avoid repeating letters in early guesses to maximize information
  • Pay attention to letter frequency in English words
Connections icon
Connections
The New York Times' newest word puzzle that challenges players to find groups of four words that share a common connection. Created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu.

How to Play

Connections presents 16 words that must be grouped into four categories of four words each. Categories range from straightforward (like 'Types of Birds') to tricky wordplay and cultural references. The puzzle includes red herrings and words that could fit multiple categories, making it a true test of lateral thinking and cultural knowledge.

Winning Strategies

  • Look for the most obvious connections first
  • Be wary of words that could fit multiple categories
  • Consider different meanings of words (homonyms, slang, etc.)
  • Save the trickiest category for last
Strands icon
Strands
Find theme words and the special 'spangram' that touches opposite sides of the grid. This word search variant adds strategic thinking to traditional letter-finding games.

How to Play

Strands combines word search with thematic puzzles. Players must find all theme words hidden in a grid of letters, plus discover the 'spangram' - a special word that spans from one side of the grid to the opposite side and relates to the theme. The challenge lies in identifying the theme while finding cleverly hidden words that can be spelled forward, backward, or diagonally.

Winning Strategies

  • Identify the theme early to guide your word search
  • Look for the spangram that connects opposite sides
  • Words can be spelled in any direction
  • Use found words to help identify the overall theme
