Occasional Puzzles - 📣 An Occasional Announcement
Occasionally we here at Occasional Puzzles HQ have an update to share with our readers. However, we like to keep things puzzle-focused so, naturally, this update comes in puzzle form!
Today's Puzzle - 📣 An Occasional Announcement
Today’s puzzle is in the style of The New York Times’ Connections, one of our daily favorites (you can find our previous Connections-style puzzle here). The usual instructions are to find four sets of four words that have something in common, with each item appearing only once. This particular puzzle, however, has a twist, which you’ll have to figure out along the way!
