			<description><![CDATA[I wasn't sure where I should put this stupid crap! Does anyone else play wordle or quordle or connections or any daily word games?<br />
<br />
Here is today's connections puzzle. The trick is to figure out how 4 of the words related to each other. I can't figure out any of these.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day I will give the solution.<br />
<br />
Also, you can play on your own if you wish.<br />
