  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I completed today’s Connections without ever knowing what the four groups were until getting them correct – I just thought they belonged together.

It’s part of the two-tiered wonder/satisfaction/disappointment loop of this particular puzzle. You can whiz through it and still feel as if you know nothing – and I know absolutely nothing about INFO ON A BASEBALL CARD – which in turn can make you feel either blessed or as if you have gotten away with something.

I’m definitely in the latter camp. “He got away with it (until now)” is all that will need to be said in my obituary.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
