![]() In Connections, each correct group of words is transformed into a solid-colored bar, so that when you win, your handiwork is laid out in front of you in the form of four rainbow stripes: If this is starting to sound familiar, it might be because there’s a BBC game called Only Connect that operates very similarly, as some outlets groused upon Connections’ unveiling. The challenge comes when you don’t see any patterns right away, which sometimes happens, or you spot a word that might fit in multiple categories-for example, a board recently included the word “rock,” and the player might have initially thought it fit into the same category as “blues” and “country,” which were also on the grid, until they noticed that “paper,” “scissors,” and “shoot” were on the grid that day, too. The player is told to find groups of four words that fit together-you’re supposed to select the four words in front of you that have a commonality, like that they’re all names for pasta shapes, or cuts of beef. So I’m as surprised as anyone to be registering the following complaint about Connections, the New York Times’ newest game: It’s too easy.Ĭonnections, which debuted last month, presents players with a four-by-four grid of gray rectangles, each enclosing a different word. I got so upset the first time I lost Wordle that I wrote a whole piece about it. I can barely make it through a Wednesday crossword. Spelling Bee has never failed to humble me.
