I just solved Redactle in two guesses

NEW, ZEALAND
I actually thought that New York could be somehow related to the article, that's why I started with NEW

It's been a while since I played Wordle, but I recently started playing the NYT's other game, Connections. It's a bit more right-brain than Wordle: since the connection in a group can be anything, you have to use more creativity and leaps of intuition.

In some sense it's an easier game, but it's quite often that I can't figure out what the connection is in the final group (that you get for free by process of elimination).

Once I was left with BROWN, DOGS, UNCHAINED, FICTION:

And recently SIGHT, SOUR, SEN, SINE:

I find it pretty enjoyable.

There's a BBC game show called Only Connect (pretty sure my cousin's been on it. He's been on a few), which is essentially the same game.

Sometimes it's really hard, other times it's so easy you think it must be a trick.

I'm interested to know how everyone got on with today's (1062).

I hardly ever manage to find the homophone connections, in part because I don't think my (foreign-accented) pronunciations match the ones used by NYT. I don't think BURY and BERRY are homophones for me, for example, and I'm unsure whether PEAR and PAIR are. Fortunately you get the last group whether or not you find the connection.
