April 1, 2024 Connections game
Players were expected to find the connections between four groups of emojis instead of words.
  • The New York Times' Connections game has players in an uproar.
  • Just in time for April Fools' Day, the brainteaser swapped its words for emoji clues.
  • Players were even more confused than usual (but don't worry — we won't give you spoilers).

While visual learners might have more luck with Monday's version of The New York Times' Connections game, a surprise April Fools' Day format switch has left a lot of players with a lot to say.
