Connections is a daily word puzzle featured by the New York Times. Players are given a grid of 16 words and must organize them into four groups of four words each. The goal is to find a relationships that connects the words within each group. These groups can be straightforward or difficult at best, making the game both challenging and enjoyable. I find that on Monday the puzzle is a little easier and gets progressively harder each day. It's a great way for player's to improve vocabulary and problem-solving skills. I love playing it in the evenings and sharing my results with other Connections enthusiasts. Click To Play

Wordle is a daily online word puzzle where players have six tries to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the game returns color blocks for the letters: green if the letter is in the correct position, yellow if the letter is in the word but in the wrong position, and gray if the letter is not in the word at all. This process of trial and error continues until the player either guesses the word correctly or runs out of attempts. A new game is available everyday, it's a great way to do a quick mental exercise at the start or end of your day. Click To Play

Strands is a word search puzzle game offered by the New York Times but it is like no other word search puzzle! I was initially against playing word search games but this one got me hooked. The player aims to find words given by a subject hint. The challenge lies in forming words multiple directions. Surprisingly, this game offers clues to help you get started but I find it more rewarding to solve without any hints if possible. Strands combines the joy of discovery with the satisfaction of mastering word formation. Click To Play

Hashtag is a word puzzle game by the New York Times that challenges players to find words hidden within a grid of letters shaped like a hashtag (#). So far, of all the NYT games meentioned here, I find this one to be the easiest but still very challenging. The goal is to arrange the randomly placed letters into words. If you have a correct postion the letter block turns green, if the letter is in the correct row but wrong position it is represented by a yellow block color and all other letter blocks are grey. This daily puzzl offers a mix of straightforward and tricky words to find. Click To Play
