Craig HockenberryIf you were confused at how easy today’s Connections was, it’s because you are using an ad blocker and are seeing accessibility descriptions.
This is what the puzzle looks like if the images aren’t blocked:
GadgetGav@chockenberry I was the opposite. I took one look and thought “where’s the word game?” They often have some pretty tenuous connections as it is without having to guess what they mean by the pictogram, then try to make a connection.
@gadgetgav I started to suspect something when I saw the high difficulty levels in the summaries. Not seeing the pictograms made it a completely different puzzle.
I hope this was a one off experiment because I want *words*.
@chockenberry I agree..! Words! Especially when the pictograms need an arrow because they’re not specific enough for people to know what they’re getting at.
Paul Goracke@chockenberry Ah, so that’s why I saved the obvious (trap!) homophone set until last.
@pgor Same! Almost psyched myself out of the correct answer.
Dr. Drang@chockenberry So people using an ad blocker saw words instead of drawings?
