Hey everyone,

I'm just a fan of the game. I made a free web app (using AI, I don't code) that helps me in a huge way. It's at: gridponder.com

the desktop version with a puzzle screenshot pasted in and a bunch of random incorrect guesses to show what it looks like

It's been working for me with no problems at all for a few months now, so I feel pretty safe letting other people try it.

It's a workspace where you copy a screenshot of the puzzle and paste it in and then mark on the image with colored markers. You can track your misses too.

What it does not do - enter your guesses into the NYT connections game. This is just a place for you to get organized. Nothing else.

I'm really impulsive and was missing a lot because I'd guess too early. But I noticed if I figure out my best guess at all four sets before making a pick on NYT page, I get a solve a lot more often. But it was a pain to write the words etc so I made the app.

Anyone can use it free.

It loads in your browser (so it's not actually something happening on the website, but on your computer only) locally. It doesn't keep track of you so there's no logging in or anything.

And. LOL. It might crash if like - ten of us try it at once, but - maybe if just nine people ever get over there, we'll be fine. :) So - only nine of you should go over max (pretty sure way more than nine will be fine, but it's not been tested with more than one so...until we know, we don't know).

I'm not a developer so if there are problems, I'll try to fix them in my free time, but no promises. And. I've not had any problems. Also - free, so...don't get crazy with expectations.
