Combinatorial tricks for solving the New York Times “Connections” puzzle
A few days ago, I figured out a combinatorial trick you can sometimes use to help solve Connections. I tried Googling to see if anybody had previously found it, without success.

A poem for finals week
And now the last ordeal comes.
The task looms up, so uninviting.
Will it be clear or enigmatic?
Will it be boring or exciting?
Must we solve riddles or fight battles?
Set out on some mysterious quest?
Or search for clues in dusty tomes?
Tell us, what will be on the test?

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?
I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.
"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...
