YourLifeChoices Connections
Rate itSort sixteen words into four hidden groups of four, one numbered puzzle a day.
Every day: One numbered, dated grid of sixteen words a day (Game #2417 on 6 October 2026) to sort into four groups of four. New puzzle: Once a day (the page does not give the time).
YourLifeChoices Connections is the Australian over-50s site's own version of the sixteen-word grouping puzzle. Each day's numbered grid hides four groups of four; select four tiles and submit, and find all four groups before your fourth mistake.
About YourLifeChoices Connections
YourLifeChoices, an Australian news and lifestyle site for older readers, runs its own Connections game in a frame on its games page. Each puzzle is numbered and dated: Game #2417 on 6 October 2026 had tiles such as SPIDER-MAN, ORION, BUDDHISM and ETIHAD among its sixteen.
You pick four tiles you think belong together and press Submit. A right group is set aside and named; a wrong one costs one of four mistakes. Shuffle rearranges the tiles to help you see new links, and a Clue button is there if you are stuck. The rules note that categories are always more specific than plain things like names or verbs, and that some words will seem to fit more than one group.
The game is free on the YourLifeChoices site, which carries ads. It sits beside the site's other daily games, such as AussieGuessr and Poker Puzzle.
How to play YourLifeChoices Connections
- Open the day's puzzle and read the sixteen words.
- Select four words you think share something.
- Press Submit: a correct group is revealed, a wrong one costs a mistake.
- Use Shuffle to see the tiles in a new order, or Clue if stuck.
- Find all four groups before your fourth mistake.
Tips
- Look for words that could fit two groups and leave them until last.
- Start with the group you are surest of; each correct group makes the rest easier.
- Shuffle when stuck: new neighbours suggest new links.
- Categories are specific, so think of a narrow link rather than a broad one like names or verbs.
