The NYT gave me a complimentary all access pass for 6 months, and part of that includes the NYT Games section. While I am not a fan of the crossword (largely due to the UX/UI) or the sudoku (same reason), the other puzzles are great.
For now, my go-to is Connections. The puzzle is a 4×4 grid of words, and the goal is to group them into four groups of four, based on a shared connection. That connection can be anything; in today’s version, as can be seen in today’s results (spoiler alert)
Some are connected by definition, some by their sound, some by proximity. It’s a lot harder than it looks!
