Of all the NYTimes games, Connections has slowly become my favorite. I like the abstraction and oddity some days.
If it's anything like the current Connections, the clues will be like "Quarterbacks wear checkered boxers" and "Goalies' second cousin twice-removed once vacationed in Greece".
As someone who knows the bare minimum on sports, I was surprised to have gotten perfect 🥳
Your periodic reminder that this is a rip off of the Connections Wall on the long running British nerd quiz Only Connect, which wouldn't be a problem if the NYT wasn't notorious for policing rip-offs of their games...
