Connectle
NYT Connections, in Minecraft
Every day there is one board, and it's the same board for everyone: sixteen items hiding four groups of four. Select four tiles you think belong together and press Submit. Find all four groups before you make four mistakes.
- 🟨 Yellow is the straightforward group
- 🟩 Green
- 🟦 Blue
- 🟪 Purple is the tricky one: wordplay, trivia, or an angle you didn't see coming
Most boards carry a red herring or two, an item that fits two groups until the titles are known.
How to play
Run /connectle. Click a tile to select it (up to four), click again or right-click to deselect, then press Submit.
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Solved | Those four belong together. The group collapses into a coloured banner with its theme |
| One away! | Three of the four were right. It still costs a life |
| Miss | Costs a life. Four misses and the remaining groups are revealed |
Find three groups and the fourth completes itself. Shuffle rearranges the unsolved tiles, Clear empties your selection, and repeating a guess is refused for free. Every guess you submit stays on screen beside the board, coloured by tier once its group is known.

Features
- A global daily that resets at midnight US Eastern. Every server on the same version has the same board.
- Streaks and stats. Played, won, current streak, best streak and flawless solves.
- Share your run. Copies a grid of coloured squares to your clipboard, one row per guess.
- Practice mode that never deals you today's daily, so it can't spoil it.
- High contrast mode with a colourblind-safe palette and numbered banners.
- Nothing to cheat with. The server holds the answers and grades your guesses.
- Over fifty hand-written boards, dealt like a deck so none repeats within a cycle.
- Saves your progress. Log out mid-board and pick up where you left off.
Installation
Connectle must be installed on both the client and the server, along with Fabric API.
- Install the Fabric loader for Minecraft 26.2
- Drop the Connectle jar and the Fabric API jar into your
modsfolder - In singleplayer it just works. On a server, install it on both sides.
Players without the mod can't open the board, and nothing else breaks for them.
