How Connections compares to Krillion

Connections is the purest expression of Krillion’s Too Clever tier: the grouping that looks obvious is usually the one built to catch you. Both games score your ability to resist the first reading, and both end the day for everyone on the same single board.

Prefer the original? The Krillion Unlimited mode has no daily cap, and the daily Krillion game serves one shared dive a day.
