Puzzle games can be addictive. Maybe not Randy Orton plays Elden Ring-addictive (we hope), but definitely habit-forming.
Your daily sweet 16 words are back and ready for your best grouping efforts. The popular Connections Brainbuster by The New York Times has four groups of words with a common theme or commonality, but shuffled in a random order for you to figure them out. Remember to take your time – many words have multiple meanings, so think twice before you click.
Words of the day: TONGUE, BAND, RANCH, NECK, FRENCH, LANGUAGE, DRESS, CABIN, BANDAGE, CRAFTSMAN, Smooch, SCISSORS, SPEECH, KISS, PRAIRIE, And DIALECT.

The rules are simple: the yellow group is the easiest, the purple group is the hardest (and usually contains the most obscure puns), the blue and green groups are somewhere in between. Choose four words at a time – if you get four wrong, you lose.

YELLOW: Yak Yak, Yak is a Yak.
GREEN: First Base
BLUE: Emergency care
PURPLE: Home is the best place
