Connections Game! reviews

What people like
- Fun way to keep your mind sharp
- Great game for building vocabulary skills
- Enjoyable challenge that is not too hard
What they complain about
- No hints or answers if you get stuck
- Too many annoying ads interrupt gameplay constantly
- Repeats same categories and words too often
A bit too easy
Most matches are super easy, the last line is a given so maybe add 2-3 additional words that have nothing to do with the last set, this would make it more challenging to get the last line. Also a hint option and an end game option would be helpful for the times when a row can’t be calculated
Wrong spelling
On my SECOND level it gave me the word “leave” and it didn’t make any sense. So I just brute forced it until I figured out what it wanted. The game tried to gaslight me and say “leave” is another word for “leaf”.. like “leaf” on a tree. Total BS. Uninstalled
game A+, ads D-
Love the game, builds forgotten vocabulary. But HATE the ads, especially if they won’t X to stop them.
Connections
There should be a number of guesses and then when all guesses are used, the answer is revealed. This game just continues until you quit or eventually try every possible solution.
Too American oriented
Whilst the premise of the game is good, the connecting words are very orientated towards American culture and there isn’t any option to get a clue if you are stuck!
A good thinking game!
Enjoy playing Connections. Thank you for this game!
Irritating and Juvenile
Very difficult to play and focus on due to the constant ads that you are forced to watch between moving from one set of questions to the other. The game also seems to assume it can use foreign and many extremely rare and unheard words and terms to the typical English speaker. Another “game” for the NY Times to grift more attention and cash from the public.
I wish
I wish I had a support system. If you couldn’t get it then it would give you like a hint maybe you had to watch an ad or something.
Fun, but…
A fun game but I wish there was a ad free version available.
Connecting
Fun
i like it
very good
Connection
Too many ads
Rate
Needs to have a way to exit out or answers
Categories
The category titles are incorrect (ie category name was NBA players and the group was NBA teams)
Leave?
On first effort it seemed like a decent game, and I will continue with it, but I was disappointed with ‘leave’ being part of a tree. Slap the editor’s wrists!
Connections Game
This game is so much fun I love it Thank you
A hint would be helpful
If I can’t figure out the connection, it makes me even more curious as to what it is. Only there’s no way to find out. Just have to start a new game.
Need
Should have a clue button
The annoying manipulative ads spoil the experience-
the connections game could be great but the annoying pop up ads that force you to engage with them while hiding the escape buttons totally ruin the game experience. why would anyone think people want to put up with that!
Confused
I am trying to get used to thinking out of the box,i usually play scrabble
The best
So fun to play on a trip, and it is good for your brain!
Ads, ads, more ads
The duplication of sets every 3-4 “games” makes this easy to remember from game to game. Ads after every game makes this annoying to play, breaks your flow of thoughts.
Decent
Not the best but as I’m boycotting NYT for its genocidal views, this is a good alternative!
Needs more…
It’s OK. The biggest challenge I have with the game is that it doesn’t have an “end” function. If you get stuck and can’t finish a line, there’s no way to quit the game and start over. You have to close then re-open the app. Other games give you a certain number of tries and when you lose, you can see the context of the lines you missed. In this game you’ll never learn the correct answer for the lines you missed. There’s plenty of similar apps that have these two missing functions so there’s no good reason why they’re absent here.
Challenging if you’re not American
Clues would be nice
I Need Answers
Please give the answer key if we cannot solve it!
Eh. . .
There’s no way to finish the board if u get stuck- no hints, etc. skip it and go to the next one. . . SOMETHING
Needs a hint button
This app is really good for working your brain but I wish there was a “hint” option. It would help tremendously with how difficult the levels are!
Bizarre
On the whole I liked it until the group associations started not making sense and it just became annoying!!!!
Amazing game, too many ADS
Game is amazing, fun, and challenging, but that ads come after every single level. Some level are like 30 seconds and boom another ad. No option to pay to remove ads. Games have just become ad farms.

Review
no solution given
dont waste your time . nosolfion is provided unless u solve it.
Connections
Could use just a few hints.
Repetitive
I’ve probably done less than 20 rounds and I already had up to 3 of the 4 categories be repeats of things I’ve already done. Also super annoying that there’s no option to get ride of ads.
Needs hint feature
Its great except it lacks a hint feature. So I typically get 2-3 connections and then just close the app to start over when I cant get the last one.
ET
Interesting and keep your mind sharp. Great game👍🏼
Fun But Too Many Ads
Fun game but first levels seem much easier than NYT version. Not sure if it gets progressively harder because so many ads made it unenjoyable to continue.
A good game
I recommend this game. It’s very fun and not too hard. I would recommend for 10+ because there are some categories that are a little hard but it’s really enjoyable. Recommended
Needs help
Too many repeating words
It’s not what I thought
I was looking for something , I could do with my grandchildren. I was hoping it would encourage them to use their mind, but it’s a little harder than they can do it’s sometimes a little hard for me to do. ( But the challenge is nice )Let me know if there’s something out there that elementary school can do.
Connection Game
Challenging.
Ripoff and spammy
Cheap ripoff filled with ads. This isn’t the game you’re looking for
No Out
There’s no mechanism for quitting and being able to see what the final two groups of four should have been. That is, there’s no “I give up” phase to the game.
Very repetitive
I’ve played only a few dozen rounds of this and already there have been a dozen or more repeated solutions.
Greta game
Such a good game. Although I would like if your were able to get hints, maybe like watch an advert for a hint. But overall a great game.
Hehe
Fun:)
Don’t bother
Poorly designed app and too many ads
Good
The most amazing game ever
No clue button
Need some clues
Probably better if you are American
Lots of American references, a few spelling mistakes and no option for hints or to skip a level. If you get stuck, that’s it
