A NYT Games Editor Reveals Their Connections Category That Got Cut
"I still remember the time I put the category COOK, KNIGHT, MILLER, SUMMONER in a board," Liu tells Parade. "My editor remarked, 'It does seem rather not in the spirit of Connections to pull out a deep cut reference to TheCanterbury Tales, which I’d guess .5% of your audience has read.' Noted!"Fortunately, she had another idea that accomplished the same goal of creating a legit category *and* leading some players astray at the same time."I swapped it out for CORONA, FLARE, LIGHT, RADIATION, which are all SOLAR EMANATIONS, in order to preserve the 'Beer Brands' fake category I had been working with," she continues.

How Long It Takes To Create a Connections Board
As a player, it can take me an embarrassing long time to complete a Connections puzzle—which makes it even more impressive to hear about how long it typically takes Liu to create each new board."It can vary a lot, but I generally budget two to two and a half hours for a Connections board, which includes time for brainstorming and research," she tells Parade. "Some boards are made in one sitting, but other times it takes multiple sessions. If I’m stuck, I find it helpful to step away and return to those ideas with fresh eyes."
