Puzzle games are a perfect blend of brain exercise and relaxation, providing a fun way to unwind while keeping your mind sharp.

NYT Connections is a popular daily puzzle game that not only enhances your vocabulary but also gives your brain a daily workout.

The objective of the game is to discover the hidden connections between words and group them into fours. The game presents you with 16 words divided into four groups of related terms.

Each group contains four words linked by a secret connection, and it's up to you to figure out what that connection is.

Remember, the game resets every night at midnight, offering a fresh challenge with a new set of words and categories.

If you guess correctly, those words will be removed from the game board and you can move on - but if you guess wrong, it's counted as a mistake, and you're allowed only four mistakes.

Look for patterns - brainstorming to find prefixes, suffixes, or phonetic patterns can help.
