CraftConnections

CraftConnections is a daily grouping puzzle built around Minecraft, following the format of the New York Times game Connections. Each day gives you a grid of sixteen tiles, shown with the game's block and item art as well as their names, and your job is to sort them into the four hidden groups of four that belong together.

The groupings lean on how things work in Minecraft: mobs, tools, ores, villager professions, blocks of one colour, items from one biome and so on. Some tiles look as if they fit two groups, which is the trap. You select four tiles and submit; a correct group locks in with its label, and a wrong one costs one of your four mistakes. Use all four mistakes and the puzzle ends and shows the answers.

Puzzles are numbered and the same for everyone on a given day, and many are submitted by players and credited by name. There is an archive of past puzzles to play, buttons to shuffle or clear your selection, and a stats view for your history. The puzzle turns over at midnight Eastern Standard Time, 05:00 UTC, and a countdown shows how long is left. The first board went up on 7 November 2025, and the archive lists every one since by number and date.

It is free, carries ads, and needs no account. It suits Minecraft players who know the game's blocks and mobs well and enjoy the lateral thinking of Connections.

Players can send in their own boards through a form linked from the menu, and the game has a Discord server for sharing results and ideas. Today's board on 29 October 2026, puzzle 357, mixed redstone parts with things that give off light, such as the beacon, glowstone and the redstone torch.
