Minecraft Connections is a daily grouping puzzle built entirely out of Minecraft. You are given 16 blocks, items and mobs from the game and have to sort them into four hidden groups of four. Every player in the world gets the same board, and a new Minecraft Connections puzzle goes live at 00:00 UTC.
The groups are never arbitrary. They come from how Minecraft actually works: what a villager claims as a job site, what emits light, what only generates in the Nether, what explodes in your face. The difficulty is that some items honestly look like they belong in two groups at once — every board is built around those overlaps.
Despite the overlaps, every board is machine-checked to have exactly one valid arrangement before it ships. It is free, it runs in the browser, and you never need an account to play. About CraftConnections
Each group has a difficulty. Colour is never the only clue — every bar also carries a shape, so the game stays readable if you are colour blind.
One puzzle a day is the main event, but there are three more ways into the game.
Today’s answers appear nowhere on this site — not in the archive, not in a shared result, not in the page source. That is deliberate: the whole point of one shared daily board is that nobody gets spoiled before they have played it.
The moment a puzzle expires, its full solution is published: all four categories, the four items in each, the difficulty colour and a short explanation of the connection — including which item was there purely to mislead you. Every past day is browsable in the archive. Answer archive
Yes. A new board goes live at 00:00 UTC and is identical for every player, so you can compare results with friends.
We publish full solutions with an explanation for every group — but only once a puzzle has expired. Today's answers are never shown anywhere on the site, including in shared results, so nobody gets spoiled. Answer archive
You can play Unlimited for endless practice boards that never reuse the current day's puzzle. Practice
Same daily habit, different puzzle. A Wordle asks you to guess one hidden word letter by letter; Minecraft Connections gives you 16 things at once and asks how they group. If you came here looking for a Minecraft Wordle, this is the grouping version of that idea — one board a day, shared by everyone.
No. CraftConnections is an independent fan project and has nothing to do with The New York Times, Mojang or Microsoft. It borrows the grouping format the same way every daily puzzle borrows from the ones before it, and every board here is written from scratch out of Minecraft.
No. Everything is playable without signing up.
Free, with no download and no sign-up. It is built for a phone screen first and can be installed to your home screen, where it also works offline for practice boards.
