The 26 Funniest NYT Connections Game Memes You'll Appreciate if You Do This Daily Word Puzzle

In June 2023, the New York Times launched a new word game: Connections . It started as simply the latest word puzzle to try out, but now has a large following as many players (myself included) open up the game every single day to see if we can "connect" the 16 words into the four mystery categories. But with some puzzles including very obvious groupings, and other days having "connections" that seem like a total stretch (to say the least), it's no surprise that there have been plenty of funny NYT Connections game memes shared online.

After all, I may write up hints and answers to the popular game each day, but even the hints can be tricky to come up with because of how unlikely the word groups seem. Luckily, these seemingly impossible-to-solve categories provide some hilarious inspiration for users online who have been posting entertaining memes, tweets (Xs?) and videos that say what we're all thinking about the puzzles.

So, sit back and get ready to laugh as you scroll through these relatable memes about the NYT Connections game.
