    I think it’s designed to be easy or else it’s a terribly designed game

    and really just to get more people using NYT games in hopes that they subscribe

    I assume it will be if it becomes popular enough? I just know I've missed them adding some on the app because I wasn't updated before, but updated last night and it wasn't on there yet.

    Has anyone been playing Connections? I really enjoy it and play it now with Wordle every morning on the pooper.

    Not the best today, but I’m usually just happy to get it done.

    There was another thread. I’ve played it like 7 times and been perfect every game. It’s fun but too easy.

    today's had imo 3 very easy and one I had to get by process of elimiation.

    Got tripped a bit by shadow vs dog for things that follow ("pursue"). I wouldnt have gotten the things that cast if there was another difficult category.
