Editors at The New York Times Connections Puzzle got super creative today. The puzzle grid is usually filled with words that the player is expected to match, but today it is filled with pictures. Other puzzles do this, and the adventure always becomes how good the artist, or clip-art program, or artificial intelligence is, that created these little pictures. Should it be mice or rats? Nuts, or random rocks? Mouth or face? Is it a triangle, or the Greek letter Delta? And what the hell is that square full of letters G supposed to represent? (Besides my first initial, that is) If any of today’s pictures confused you, read on for hints, and eventually, answers.
