What is the UK connections game?

Categories Daily is a free British word game inspired by the NYT Connections puzzle. Each day you get a new grid of 16 words. Your job is to find the four groups of four that share something in common: a category. The catch: some words could fit more than one group, so you need to think carefully.

Unlike the American original, every Categories Daily puzzle is written specifically for UK players, drawing on British slang, British culture, UK geography, and British general knowledge.

How to play the UK connections word game

🟨 Straightforward The easier category, and a good place to start.
🟩 Getting warmer Medium difficulty that requires some thought.
🟦 Tricky Hard, where the connection is less obvious.
🟪 Fiendish The toughest group, where a red herring often lurks nearby.

Select four words you think belong together and press Submit. You have four guesses, so use them wisely. A new puzzle is published every day at UK midnight.
