How does that happen? I’m off to Google this. My son also does this puzzle and his answers are the same as mine.

I Googled. No real concrete answers, but it has happened to others. On Reddit, a couple mentioned it could be the browser being used. Safari vs Chrome, but that doesn’t make sense.

Not sure why I’m sharing if we don’t all get the same puzzle, but

Originally, when I first tried Connections, I got a different puzzle. It was not from the New York Times. So there was something else out there that is similar.

That is so weird. I looked it up too and someone said they were getting old games from previous months. Hope someone can solve the mystery.

I haven't been posting my puzzles, but I sometimes follow along. Yes, I had those words in my puzzle today. I also had breaking yesterday in the olympic sport category.

I access the puzzle from my NY Times subscription through Firefox. Weird the colored boxes are there when I hit paste, but disappear when I hit post.

This has been an issue for a couple of weeks or so. If you type something after the boxes, (at least one character or emoji), they will appear.
