Connections pulled a classic game design trick this week: showing the player a challenge they haven’t seen before, but have unknowingly been preparing for this whole time.
The popular New York Times puzzle game, in which players usually are tasked with grouping a bunch of random words together into hidden categories, threw a heck of a curveball on Wednesday, May 6. If you haven’t checked it out yet, today’s puzzle is a bit strange in that it doesn’t include words at all.
Instead, it’s a bunch of symbols of mundane objects.
