Today's New York Times Connections puzzle is a tricky one, especially for animal lovers. The puzzle features two separate categories of dogs, with only one referring to the actual four-legged friend. The yellow group hints at being flabbergasted, with answers like dazzle, floor, stun, and wow. The green group is about things in a violin case, such as bow, mute, rosin, and shoulder rest. The blue group is about dogs that are dogs, with answers like hunting, rescue, sausage, and sheep. The purple group is about dogs that aren't dogs, with answers like corn, prairie, salty, and top. Gael Cooper, a CNET editor and journalist, provides hints and answers for today's Connections puzzle, as well as links to other puzzles and articles.
