🌶️ take. The NYTimes Connections puzzles often defy logic. You’re competing against someone’s opinion, and that makes it sometimes very not fun.
@shanselman Wait till you see today's puzzle, one of the groups is a doozie
@shanselman I wouldn't know anymore since they took it off the version of the app that supports iOS 15. 😢
@shanselman And very US centric many times (need to know NBA, American football etc) And there's a big defect - you just have to find 3 connections and the last one is free.
@shanselman Couldn’t handle it (and I love these types of puzzles).
@shanselman This is the reason I preferred math over english.
@shanselman My daughter showed me the newish game called Strands that's also in NYT. It's much less frustrating than connections whilst still having the cryptic crossword vibe. Worth giving it a go
