    So, I got it quite easy today. But unfortunately I went straight into Copilot, as I do most days. And today’s Copilot (see the spoilers) just has text descriptions of the pictures. The descriptions highlight exactly how the picture is supposed to be interpreted, which makes it much more obvious than it would be.

    Spoilers

    I probably never would have worked out that’s ‘fudge’, would have spent ages thinking ‘sundae’ or something. Some with figuring out it was ‘Geez’ and not Gs. And multiple others.

    That said, a couple of others might have been harder because of seeing it in text instead of pictures. “Ti, Tee (Shirt), Tee (Golf), Tea”. Laid out like that, it seemed like an obvious red herring. It’s far, far too easy to be a real answer, I thought. And ‘gear’, seeing a picture it’s obvious what kind of gear…or cog, which works equally well for the connection. But I saw ‘gear’ and was thinking of it in the sense of sports gear.

        Connections Copilot. No AI involved. It just shows you the Connections puzzle words but lets you move them around like note cards, to arrange your thoughts more easily. Then once you think you know all 4 categories completely you go to the Connections puzzle and enter in your answers to see if it was correct.

        It’s how I solve the puzzle without errors most days.
