FAQ
Why can't I see today's Connections answer?
Because that would ruin the game — everyone plays the same sixteen words each day and shares their grids. Yesterday's groups unlock as soon as the next puzzle goes live at midnight UTC.
What do the colours mean?
They rank difficulty, not category. Yellow is the most straightforward group, then green, then blue, and purple is the trickiest — usually a pun or a hidden wordplay rule.
Can I replay a past puzzle?
Yes — the Archive on the Connections page lets you replay any past date (one free archive puzzle each week, unlimited with Premium).
Is this the same puzzle as the New York Times Connections?
No. This is Lotamyst's own daily version with its own puzzles, so the groups here won't match the NYT one. It's free, has no sign-up, and you can replay the archive or build your own puzzle to share.
