Play our science-themed Connections games!
Are you familiar with Connections, the popular New York Times daily word game? Test your puzzle skills and your science skills with some UVic- and science-themed puzzles, made just for you by us!
Connections is a word game where you're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange the words in four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. There's only one solution for each puzzle, so you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category!
We're new to building Connections games, so feel free to send all your complaints about difficulty or ideas for future puzzles to facultyofscience@uvic.ca!
