  "account": "Connections is a popular New York Times word game that challenges players to find common threads between 16 given words. Each puzzle consists of four categories, with each set containing four words. The game resets each day and becomes progressively more challenging. Players have four mistakes before the game ends and can rearrange and shuffle the board for easier spotting of connections. Today's Connections #1164 has the following categories: Yellow: Piece of Cake - BREEZE, CINCH, PICNIC, SNAP; Green: Conceal - BLANKET, HIDE, MASK, OBSCURE; Words before \"ball\" in sport names - BASE, BASKET, FOOT, PICKLE; Homophones of CGI-animated films - ANTS, COCOA, RHEO, SEOUL.",
