Today’s *Connections* Puzzle Embraces Cozy Holiday Comfort
The New York Times Connections puzzle for December 24 has a soothing theme centered on relaxation. Players will find words that evoke comfort and warmth in today’s edition. The puzzle’s spangram also follows a vertical layout this time.
Today’s Connections includes eight words tied to cosiness: Comfy, Warm, Soft, Homey, Cozy, Pleasant, Relaxing, and the spangram Snug as a Bug. The theme focuses on feelings of ease and contentment, fitting for the holiday season.
The puzzle’s spangram, Snug as a Bug, runs vertically rather than horizontally. This variation adds a slight twist to the usual format. The December 24 edition was authored by David W. Dunlap, a regular contributor to the Connections series.
The puzzle’s words and spangram all reinforce the idea of comfort. Players can expect a gentle, seasonal challenge with a focus on warmth and relaxation. The vertical spangram offers a small but noticeable change from the standard layout.
