The New York Times Games are logic-based word games available on the New York Times website, which have been played since Wordle came out in 2021. The most popular games include The Mini, Wordle, Connections, and Strands. While the games are typically brief and fun, many struggle on one game in particular: Connections. What started off as a light-hearted puzzle became a battle filled with rage and bewilderment against preposterous categories chosen by the creators. To win this “game,” one must scan the seemingly unrelated 16 words given and put them in groups of four without knowing the classifications. However, the groups become exponentially harder to guess after the first two are created. When you finally give up, a screen appears saying “Next Time!” just to gloat in your defeat. If you think you have what it takes, try this one, but don’t get angry at me.
