Missed Connections

Another newsletter about the pastimes of the effete yuppie

I’m sure that you’ve all heard of the New York Times game “Connections” at this point. Here’s today’s:

You have to guess what words relate to each other. It’s a fun distraction. Takes me about 5 seconds. But I’m nice like that, you know? I’m lowkey nice with it. Like on this one, the answers are obviously:

• EON, AIR, NET, TOW - Words with 3 letters in them

• CURTAIN, RUN, BATH, PICTURE - Things that move (with the exception of picture, which is a trick wildcard they just throw in for you)

• SHUFFLE, ETHER, REWIND, SCREEN - More wildcards. Lots of wild card categories, I’ve found.

• SHOW, STOP, SKIP, CARD - Just the leftovers. The little dingleberries.

At this point, I’m so good at the game I don’t even bother clicking the things. I just look at it, sort of instantly know, and move on with my day.

Every once in a while, you come across a really cleverly constructed puzzle. I’ve screenshotted some of the best ones for you guys. Give it a try!

Nabeel’s Footnote

Some days, Little Miss Wyna is absolutely cooking with gas. And on some days, she comes up with some shit like this:

What do we think her salary is? I honestly could not imagine coming up with one of these every day. That being said—if that were all I had to do? Maybe I could imagine that. I could imagine that, for sure.
