I have heard many people say that the first thing they do when they open Connections on the NYT Games app is to hit shuffle. This is beyond stupid. It's giving you a free hint!
The rational for shuffling is that when they place say, BRICK and MORTAR together, your mind wants to connected them right away, so you need to shuffle them to get out of that thinking.
You see where I'm going right? More times than not, BRICK and MORTAR will NOT be connected, so now you can figure out what other words each connects with. But no, you had to go shuffle, and now you may actually try to connect BRICK and MORTAR because you're stupid and don't know a free hint when you see one.
Anyways.
