About Connections Puzzle

The Connections puzzle is a daily word game from The New York Times. Each puzzle presents 16 words that must be grouped into four categories of four words each.

Categories can range from obvious (like "Pizza toppings") to deviously tricky (like "___ of Fire" where words go before "of Fire"). The challenge is finding the hidden connections!
