NYT Connections bot uses AI to highlight each day's top mistakes

In fact, the solve rate dips below 50 percent some days. To help highlight where players are going wrong, a new bot is employing AI to guess the thought process they're using for the most common mistakes every day. For the uninitiated, Connections is a word/logic game that the paper of record debuted last year. Every day, you're presented with a grid of 16 words that you have to split into four categories. There's only one solution and after four mistakes, the game is over.
