Conecta (Pamplonews)
Sort sixteen Spanish words into four groups of four, one puzzle each weekday.
Every day: One puzzle each weekday, the same for every player: sixteen Spanish words to sort into four hidden groups of four, with four mistakes allowed. There is no puzzle on weekends. New puzzle: Each weekday (Monday to Friday), by date; no puzzle on Saturday or Sunday.
Conecta is a free Spanish word game from the Pamplona news site Pamplonews, adapted from the New York Times' Connections. Each weekday brings sixteen words that hide four groups of four sharing a link, and you have four mistakes to find them all. Weekends are a day off.
About Conecta (Pamplonews)
Conecta brings the Connections format to Spanish. A board holds sixteen words, and they split into four groups of four that share something: a plain category such as the ingredients of a margherita pizza, or a play on words such as things that can go before ROJA (tarjeta, alfombra, cruz, Caperucita). The groups run from easy to very hard, and many words are chosen because they could fit more than one group.
You tap four words and press Enviar to check them. A correct group is revealed with its category; a wrong guess costs one of your four tries. Solving all four groups finishes the day, and the game keeps statistics such as perfect games without mistakes and your average number of errors.
The puzzle is published by Pamplonews, a news site from Pamplona, and is dated: there is one for each weekday, the same for everyone, and none on Saturdays and Sundays, when the page says the Conecta team is taking a rest. Some days are sponsored by a local business, with a discount for players who solve the puzzle. It plays in the browser with no account and suits Spanish speakers who already play Connections in English.
