Before delving into today's puzzle, let's understand what Connections Unlimited is all about. Connections is a word association game where players are given a grid of 16 words. The goal is to find and group these words into four sets of four words each, where each set is connected by a common theme. The challenge lies not just in spotting these connections but also in managing the limited number of guesses allowed.
