App Profile: Connections - Word Game

I’m unsure why people are whining about the ‘connections’ being confusing in this app and hating it. Personally, I love language and especially parsing through the English language and the multiple implications of the words therein. Sure, this game has some challenges. But as the public service announcements said in the 80s and 90s … The more you know. So get to learning and knowing before the entire world is usurped by those who can manipulate you because of your gaps in knowledge. Connection can help!

It's actually quite nice. The interface is quick, the puzzles are varied, it's meditative. Then what messes up the flow is the endlessss, constant inflow of commercials. Ad between each game— honestly what's the point of getting a game when you're interrupted ad nauseam? You get the game store forced to watch it. I have the New York Times games app but I still have to watch it's ad again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Which I just deleted the app. When app's purpose is to generate ad revenue? Hard pass—no matter how well an app is done or facilitated...it is it's not worth wasting your valuable time sitting there watching ads so the developer can grab money. We don't work for the ad developer so skip it, folks!

I love the New York Times connections, and being able to play whenever I want feels great. But the NYT connections have a few more advantages over this game. 1. “One away” In the NYT connections, when you are one option off from a correct group, it has a little pop up saying “one away” if you add this to your game, maybe through the settings, it could make it much easier and more fun. 2. Difficulty. The NYT connections are infamously difficult. So by turning something on in the settings, it would give you harder puzzles. Solid game, just a tad unpolished.
