I'm Wynna 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 slash games to start playing today.
