my newest addiction. It's in NYT games section. I find I have better results if I shuffle before I start.

I always do the shuffle before looking as the puzzles seem to alway have the first and second boxes tie together, though not as a conneciton. Like "Blue" and "Bonnet", and then your mind goes to "Flowers" as a connection, and it's downhill from there.

Done! I'm slightly addicted. Started playing in November, I'm in June or July of 2023 in the archives.

Dang. Apparently the archives only go back to June 1 of '23. No more binging for me.

I think that's when the game started in the Times. If you want more, of a more devilish sort, check out old episodes of the British game show Only Connect.
