Frequently Asked Questions
Does this solve Connections for me?
No. It finds words that share surface patterns — endings, length, or first letters — which often hint at a category. The real link may be semantic, pop culture, or wordplay that pattern matching cannot detect.
How should I paste words?
Enter all 16 words from the puzzle grid, one per line or separated by commas. Extra whitespace is trimmed and words are lowercased.
What patterns does it check?
Same word length, identical last 2–4 letters, same first letter, and same first two letters. Groups of exactly four words are ranked by how strong the shared pattern is.
Why multiple suggestions?
Several four-word clusters may share patterns by coincidence. Use suggestions as brainstorming prompts, then test one group in the game.
