New York Times Connections puzzle released for Friday
The New York Times published its daily word game Connections with new clues and answers for players worldwide on Friday, November 13.
Today's specific word groups
The puzzle features four distinct categories ranging from online activities to things that are towed. Yellow answers include browse, scroll, search and surf while green terms cover coverage, exposure, press and publicity. Blue words list barge, glider, trailer and water skier for the towed items group. The final purple category requires players to complete phrases starting with brain such as freeze or teaser.
Game difficulty and errors
The editor rated this specific game as hard because many solvers made initial mistakes. One common error involved grouping surf, waves and barge together under a water theme that did not exist. Another frequent mistake was linking scroll, trailer and teaser to online advertising concepts incorrectly. The author admitted making three total errors before finding the correct four groups for the day.
