Connections - Word Game +4

I love this game! It stimulates my mind. Some categories are a wee bit “out there” and very hard to actually combine but it’s great when you figure them out. After playing this game my mind seems to be sharper and gets me motivated to tackle tough jobs at work! Keep coming up with those “brain teaser” categories! It’s a fun mind game!

I love the New York Times connections, and being able to play whenever I want feels great. But the NYT connections have a few more advantages over this game.
1. “One away” In the NYT connections, when you are one option off from a correct group, it has a little pop up saying “one away” if you add this to your game, maybe through the settings, it could make it much easier and more fun.
2. Difficulty. The NYT connections are infamously difficult. So by turning something on in the settings, it would give you harder puzzles.
Solid game, just a tad unpolished.

If you want to play connections, great. But this app is not the way to do it. It repeats connections and words multiple times while playing, so each set of words doesn’t feel distinct. Since you can get the same connections in a row, you end up remembering those connections more than trying to find new ones. It doesn’t have the same satisfaction and the NYT game, because there isn’t as much challenge between the levels, so there ends up being a disconnect. That said, there are some interesting connections in there, and the game works as intended. So if you want to play more of the NYT game, then this is a fair way to do it, even if there is a drop in quality.
