Only Connect is the original Connections. Just like in The New York Times, players think of what links random things. A full game of Only Connect works in four stages:
- Connections: The most basic round. For example, if I gave you the clues Quebec, Foxtrot, Hotel, and Papa, the connection would be the NATO phonetic alphabet.
- Sequences: Players determine what comes fourth in a sequence. For example, if I gave you South Africa, Brazil, and Russia, the correct answer would be Qatar, as they hosted the FIFA World Cup between 2010 and 2022.
- Connecting Wall: Basically Connections.
- Missing Vowels: Basically words and phrases, but the vowels have been stolen. Oh no! For example, W KCM P would be Wiki Camp.
