  "account": "Today's NYT Connections puzzle, number 1186, is not too challenging for those who love science. The game, created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, can be played on web browsers and mobile devices. Players must group four words that share a common theme into four categories. The words are color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple being the most difficult. Today's categories are: Chemical elements, things that might stick out of a window, Bruce Springsteen classics, and words ending in synonyms for \"happening now.\" The correct answers are: ACTINIUM, KRYPTON, LEAD, SULFUR for Chemical elements; AIR CONDITIONER, CATIO, CLOTHESLINE, FLOWER BOX for what might stick out of a window; ATLANTIC CITY, BADLANDS, BORN TO RUN, THUNDER ROAD for Bruce Springsteen classics; ADULT CONTEMPORARY, ALTERNATING CURRENT, REPRESENT, SEXTANT for ending in synonyms for \"happening now.\"",
  "summary": "Connections is a New York Times word game that's all about finding the \"common threads between words.\" How to solve the puzzle.",
