NYT's Connections Puzzle Challenges Players with Subtle Wordplay
The February 24 puzzle features tricky categories, including nautical tattoos and anatomical wordplay, pushing players' problem-solving skills to the limit.
- Connections, a daily word association game by The New York Times, has become a major hit since its launch in June 2023, second only to Wordle in popularity.
- Players must group 16 words into four categories based on hidden connections, with increasing difficulty across color-coded groups.
- Today's puzzle (#624) includes categories like 'Eat Voraciously,' 'Bend Under Pressure,' 'Classic Nautical Tattoos,' and 'Body Parts Plus Letter.'
- Hints for solving the puzzle include identifying 'gimme' groups first and being cautious of overlapping words that fit multiple categories.
- Puzzle designers Wyna Liu and David Kwong recommend strategic thinking and patience to tackle the game's clever wordplay and deceptive red herrings.
