Mini Connections

Mini Connections

Nine words, three groups of three. A one-minute warm-up with a new board every day.

Mini Connections trims the classic board down to nine words. Each group has three members instead of four, so the red herrings are fewer but every choice counts more.

It is a good way to learn how the categories work before moving to the full board, and a handy break when you only have a minute.

How to play

  1. Find groups of words that share something in common.

  2. Tap words to select them, then press Submit.

  3. Each wrong guess costs one mistake. “One away” means only one word is wrong.

  4. Groups can be categories, word play, things that go together or words that complete a phrase.
