About Günün Bağlantıları (Sosyal Vadi)

Günün Bağlantıları is the daily word game on Sosyal Vadi, a Turkish portal that also carries news, prayer times and other games. The site presents it as a free Turkish version of The New York Times' Connections that needs no registration.

Each dated puzzle shows sixteen Turkish words, which belong to four hidden groups. You pick four words you think share a link and submit; if you are right, the group opens in its colour and moves to the top. Colours mark difficulty, yellow the easiest and purple the hardest. Some words seem to fit more than one group, which is where the challenge lies. You have four mistakes.

Everyone gets the same board on the same day. Past puzzles are in an archive, and the game tracks your streak, with a weekly leaderboard, badges and a share button.

It suits Turkish speakers and learners who enjoy Connections and want it in their own language.

Tips

• Watch for words that fit two groups and leave them until last.
• The purple group is usually the trickiest link: think about wordplay.
