Welcome to the weekend, puzzlers! There’s a rugged game of Connections waiting for you today. If you’re a foodie or a gamer, you’ll think you’ve got it all figured out, but then … Maybe not. Regardless, it’s a great wakeup call for your brain—much better than diving back into the wild debate about the pros and cons of the PS5 Pro. (Seven hundred bucks? That’s 12 years of NYT Games!)
Anyway. Your daily sweet 16 words are back and ready for your best grouping efforts. The popular Connections brainbuster from The New York Times has four groups of words with a shared theme or commonality, but they’re shuffled into random order for you to figure out. Remember to take your time—many words have multiple meanings, so think twice before you click.
Today’s words: LION, SWITCH, RETRO, BURGER, VINTAGE, SUB, PROM, SLIDER, SUPER, GRAPE, BUTTON, CALIFORNIA, REGION, KNOB, PRO, and WINERY
