"Connections": The Sneakiest Word Game on the Dark Web
The latest brain-scorching, soul-curdling, and intellectually crushing word game to plague social media is here, and its name is "Connections". The unholy offspring of the twisted geniuses at the New York Times has captured the public’s attention (and sanity) by unleashing a maelstrom of anagrams, puzzles, and existential despair.
The Rules (Just Don’t Expect to Make Sense of Them)
In this diabolical exercise in mental flogging, four words are presented to you, arranged in a seemingly random order. Each "connection" between the words is veiled in mystery, awaiting discovery by the few brave souls willing to throw their sanity to the winds. Yes, four words that share some eldritch connection, hiding like a hydra’s tentacles in the darkness.
What Can You Expect?
As you frantically grasp at the words like a drowning man clinging to a piece of debris, you’ll be rewarded with moments of insight, followed by crushing defeat. And after each incorrect attempt, the board remains, taunting you with its blank squares, like a cruel, uncaring deity. Up to four mistakes per game? Ha! What’s a few dozen tries short of madness?
Additional "Help"
And of course, there are "tips" and "hints" from fellow masochists masquerading as experts. They’ll spoon-feed you clues like vultures circling in the skies above the desolate expanse of your crumbling intellect, jeering at your attempts to solve the puzzle.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for It: Look at the Screenshots!
Behold! Pictures of people staring into their screens, their faces bathed in a sickly glow, as if drained of all vitality by this infernal contraption:

You can’t look away! For in this abyss, all humanity is lost, consumed by an avaricious hunger for "Connection"!
Will You Dabble in This Maelstrom, or Will You Resist?
