There was extra basic misdirection from the NYT in as we speak’s Connections puzzle, and it price me a guess early on. I put collectively GIFT, TALENT, INSTINCT and FLAIR however GIFT was not one thing that went with the others (though it may have finished). Nor did it go together with PRESENT, which was as a substitute used within the context of ‘LEAD, AS A TV PROGRAM’, along with ANCHOR, HOST and MODERATE.
As an alternative, GIFT was a part of the purple group, which for as soon as I solved myself moderately than solely getting it by default. This was a moderately good one in every of ‘WRAPPED THINGS’, along with BURRITO, MUMMY and SPRAIN; you could not get a extra numerous Connections group, but in addition one that completely is sensible when you solved it.
