Bible Connections
Sixteen words. Four hidden groups. Find what binds them.
Bible Connections deals you a grid of sixteen words from Scripture. Hidden inside are four groups of four that share something — books written by Paul, items in the tabernacle, people who met an angel. Pick four, submit, and see if you found a true group. Four mistakes and the board locks. Every day brings a brand-new grid.

How to Play
Read all sixteen words before you touch anything — the groups are designed to overlap in sneaky ways.
Tap four words you believe belong together, then press Submit.
If you’re right, the group locks in with its category revealed. If you’re wrong, you lose one of your four mistakes — and "one away!" means three of your four were correct.
Clear all four groups before you run out of mistakes to solve the day’s board.

Tips & Strategy
Find the trap first
Every board has a red herring — a word that seems to fit an obvious group but belongs to a harder one. Before submitting the "easy" group, ask which of its five candidates the puzzle wants somewhere else.
Start with what you’re surest of
Lock in the group you can name out loud ("these four are all judges") before guessing looser ones. Each solved group shrinks the board and turns guesses into deductions.
Count candidates
If five words could be "books of the Old Testament", that is exactly one too many — the extra one is your clue to a different category, like "books that are also names of people".
Use the "one away" signal
A near miss tells you three of the four were right. Swap one word at a time rather than rebuilding the whole group from scratch.
Scripture Spotlight
Connections run all through Scripture
The Bible is a library of sixty-six books written across centuries — and yet it constantly connects to itself. Prophets quote the Law, the Gospels quote the Prophets, and Revelation gathers threads from nearly every book before it. Learning to spot groups — the twelve tribes, the twelve apostles, the seven churches — is one of the oldest ways students of Scripture have organized what they know.
That is exactly the skill this game trains. When you group MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN in one move but need three tries to link the four rivers of Eden, you’ve found the edge of your Bible knowledge — and tomorrow’s board will push it a little further.
“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.”
Luke 24:27
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15
Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Bible Connections different from other connections games?
The mechanics will feel familiar — sixteen tiles, four groups, four mistakes — but every category is drawn from Scripture: people, places, objects, phrases, and themes. The difficulty comes from how much Bible the categories assume, not from obscure wordplay.
Do the groups have difficulty levels?
Yes. Like the classic format, each board usually has one straightforward group, two mid-level groups, and one that requires deeper knowledge or a lateral connection — often the one hiding the red herring.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
A fresh sixteen-word board is published daily at midnight UTC. Everyone plays the same board on the same day, which makes it a great one to compare with friends or a small group.
Can I replay a board I got wrong?
Yes — hit play again to reshuffle and take another run at it. Replays are great for learning the categories, though your streak is earned on the first daily clear.
