This game looks like it is just ripped straight from the BBC show Only Connect’s connecting wall

[@EmelyPhan]

Probably they looked at different puzzles around the world with many being either the same or very similar

[@limpfishyes]

Wow. Blatant thief

[@kmtaylor88]

True, it's plagiarized!

[@RichardHannay]

I looked it up and the NY Times insists yhey “developed” the game back in 2023 despite that Only Connect has been running for 19 seasons 😆

Cool lady!

We try to do this in 5 minutes every day.
It's really hard to do that.
We also try to make no errors, and correctly label all 4 categories.
We also try to do it in color order. Yellow, green, blue, purple... or reverse.
