[Misc] Anyone playing Connections?

[Zeberdi]

Absolutely love this - really encourages lateral thinking - caught up with all the archive games in recent weeks. No mistakes today.

Today’s NYT Connection


Connections

Puzzle #670

 

[Badger]

Yes. I play it almost every day, along with Wordle and Spelling Bee.

In fact, I just did today's Connections and got it without a mistake in exactly the same order as you @Zeberdi

Play Wordle every day, but this was my first time playing Connections so not too bad

Play it regularly although a few Americanisms throw me frequently such as baseball teams, shop names

 

[PascalGroß Tips]

I used to play Connections - but stopped when there were just too many Americanisms.

Play Wordle every day though and currently on a 412 day winning streak.

Have played it for a while. It's ripped off Only Connect's wall and isn't anywhere near as fiendish, as it doesn't tend to use red herrings. It can be annoyingly parochial in it's use of American idioms, but they'd probably say the same about Only Connect. It's kept my interest for quite a while though. Puzzgrid.com is worth a go too.

I seem to have massively grown the number of these games I play every day since I kicked off with Wordle.

I'm now doing
Connections
Strands
Alphaguess
Stacked
Crossherd
Flipple

Wordscapes!

It all takes a while, but I genuinely feel it keeps my brain that little bit more active and alert.

Anyway, back to Connections – I find it sways massively from a piece of piss to genuinely impossibly baffling. Largely down to the Americanisms. All good fun, though.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Never seen it before until you mentioned it Zeberdi thank you. I didn’t stick with Alphaguess very long so will see how I like this one.
Wordle compulsory for me and usually Crosswordle

Just started doing it a couple of weeks ago, probably my current favourite daily game along with tightrope.
Britannica games

I Also do Octordle & Sudoku on the Britannica site

My starting word just hasn't appeared as yet ... not in the 681 games I've played so far anyway. Maybe tomorrow

 

[Bakero]

Maybe tomorrow

I'll wanna settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

I love Only Connect. I am absolutely useless at knowing the answers though.

Absolutely nothing to do with Victoria Coren Mitchell

 

[Wozza]

Yep. Every day.

Shame the sport one is American. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/connections-sports-edition

 

[Guinness Boy]

Quite an easy one today. I dip in occasionally, the Americanisms and rip off of the lovely Victoria don’t sit well with me.

I'll find my way home.

 

[Papak]

I find Connections either really easy or almost impossible quite often due to Americanisms.

I don't play regularly like I do Wordle - here's why:
