A huge thank you to the kind contributor who submitted a PR to get the connections rules working again after the NYT added a new cookie banner!

I’ll avoid mentioning them by name to help preserve a veneer of anonymity, but feel free to shout yourself out in the replies if you want.

Whew that was close.
It seems I get the most difficult ones no problem, but then struggle with “easier” ones.

Also, thanks to the person who helped fix the automation problem

Damn, forgot to do the puzzle yesterday and blew my little streak. I’ve decided that I do care about the skill of solving puzzles, but I don’t particularly care about the skill of keeping an appointment every day.
