How this Connections solver works

The solver gives you a small confirmation rather than a full solution. Tap four words from the board, then choose “Check these four.” If your instinct is right, you will know the group is valid. If not, no category answers are revealed, so the next attempt remains yours to solve.

Use it after you have looked for simple associations and before you open a spoiler card. That makes it a good middle ground when one near-match is blocking the rest of your puzzle.
