Thirty-six words, nine groups, eight mistakes. Take your time.
XXL is the marathon version of Connections. With nine categories on the board, many words seem to fit several groups, and the real puzzle is finding the one arrangement where everything fits.
Work from the edges: lock in the groups you are sure about, then use the leftover words to test the harder ideas.
Find groups of words that share something in common.
Tap words to select them, then press Submit.
Each wrong guess costs one mistake. “One away” means only one word is wrong.
Groups can be categories, word play, things that go together or words that complete a phrase.
