Some categories stood out more than others. The following categories are given below:
The first group focused on things that can be felt but not physically touched. Words like "aura" and "vibe" work perfectly.
The second group featured popular snack packs on game day to make it easier to connect.
The third category evaluated how well certain words were translated when followed by "on." Words like "dwell" and the word insist naturally paired accordingly.
The last set required spotting European capital words within words which added a layer of difficulty.
This edition of the NYT Connections featured a mix (easy and tricky categories) of easy and tricky topics. So far the most obvious was the "Game Day Fare". As already explained in the pattern of meaning the "intangible qualities" made sense once again.
However the category "With 'On'" demanded some thought. The hardest group was European capital starters which were tougher to spot at first glance. Some players struggled with the "European Capital" category because they weren't immediately recognizable as city-related. At first glance, the words "Bernie" and parish" may have seemed misleading at first so it was easier to see the pattern.
However, "Rigatonis" and 'Romeo' identified the connection between these two became clearer.
The category "Keep Going On About" added a different level of difficulty as the categories required recognizing how the words fit together with one. While "harp on" and dwell on" are common phrases, "insist on" and "linger on" might have taken some more thought.
The standout aspect of today’s puzzle is the balance between straightforward and complicated categories. The game-day food section provided an easy win while the category European capitals required a different approach. The mix of different difficulty levels delivered an engaging challenge for all players.
The category 'intangible quality' further revealed the importance of words related to emotions and feelings being often linked in puzzles. Recognizing these abstract connections is a useful way to start future games.
