Transcript

I'm Wenna Liu. I write the game Connections, one of the puzzles from New York Times Games, and I love horror movies. I love my dog, and I love trying to trick you. I'm Tracy Bennett. I get to pick the Wordle word every day, which is not as easy as it sounds. A fun fact about me is that I am descended from a witch who was put on trial in Salem. New York Times Games are made by people, like the ones you just heard from. Go to nytimes.com/games to start playing today.
