How to play Conexo
You see a grid of 16 words. Your task is to identify four groups of four words that each share a common theme or connection. Select four words and submit — if correct, the group is locked in.
You have limited guesses, so don’t guess blindly. Think carefully before submitting a group, and use the “Shuffle” button if a fresh arrangement helps you spot patterns.

Strategy tips
Start with the group you're most certain about
Just like NYT Connections, lock in your most confident grouping first. Removing four words you're sure of shrinks the board and makes the trickier groups easier to see.
Watch for decoy words
Conexo follows the same misdirection pattern as Connections: words that seem to fit two groups almost always belong to the less obvious one. If a word feels too easy, question it.
The hardest group last
The hardest group in Conexo typically relies on wordplay, a non-obvious second meaning, or a niche cultural reference. Solve the three easier groups first and the last group will often become clear by elimination.
