The New York Times
The New York Times game resets every day at midnight, and some puzzles are more challenging than others.
Today's categories were an exciting challenge—frustrating, yet invigorating. I guessed one of the categories right away, but was left confused at the other three—truly curious about how they were connected. I made one guess that alerted me I was only one away and shortly after (with plenty of time staring at the screen), it all clicked.
Moral of the story: If you're having trouble with any of the connections or words in Friday's puzzle (Fricassee?! Snifter?!), don't worry—it's not just you. Let's give some hints to see if that helps before revealing the answers.
