Basically you're given a set of 8 words that can be grouped into 4 groups of 4. The trick is that they get progressively harder to relate to one another, and some groups will have one word which can apply to two groups, so you gotta really consider before you submit a guess since you only can make 4 mistakes. It's really hard but super satisfying when you get it. Today's happened to be easy though TBH. Connections Puzzle #114 --- How quaint. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It was a nightmare to even get started, but so satisfying when you get it. It really fits my play style of spending a lot of time second guessing myself before making my first guess.

I would say that the difficulty is calibrated for the format. Being able to guess blindly on the Connecting Wall for the first 2 connections, means that the connections have to be harder.
With this game, the challenge is really seeing if you can get it without any wild stabs in the dark. --- Dedicated to D - 4/15/05 ... Copied to Clipboard!
