  "account": "The New York Times latest daily word game, Connections, has become a social media hit. Created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, the game can be played on web browsers and mobile devices. Players are presented with 16 words, which are split into four categories of four words each. Each correct grouping of words is removed from the board, and players have up to four mistakes before the game ends. The categories are color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple the most challenging. For today's puzzle, the categories are: Yellow: Useful when writing a paper (DRAFT, NOTES, OUTLINE, THESIS); Green: Presume (FIGURE, GATHER, IMAGINE, SUPPOSE); Blue: Social media sections (FEED, MESSAGES, NOTIFICATIONS, PROFILE); and Purple: Boxing (BEAT, KICK, SHADOW, UN).",
