Connections Unlimited is a daily word puzzle from The New York Times, designed to test your ability to find common threads among seemingly unrelated words. Players are presented with a 4x4 grid containing 16 words, which must be grouped into four sets of four based on a shared theme or connection. The catch? You only have four mistakes before the game ends, so precision and strategy are key.
If you’re ready for the solutions, here are the four groups for Connections puzzle #767, along with their themes and words. Spoiler alert: Stop here if you want to keep trying on your own!
Yellow Group: Party Essentials
Words: BALLOON, BANNER, CAKE, GIFT
