Generally you can’t copyright an “idea” in the UK and that includes game formats. Look at all the different creators of sudoku puzzles, for example. |

♪♫ Synge ♪♫ I was fine with that group in the first try. I found out the hard way that if you leave the page to do something else - my mum messaged! - then you lose what you’ve done so far 🤣 I got the group wrong the second time 🤣🤣🤣 obviously lost focus 🤣🤣

Connections Puzzle #79 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Got the first two quickly but took ages to get a third group. I didn’t know what the ‘easy’ connection was even when it was the only one left. |

I do hope that the “associate puzzle editor” at NYT isn’t claiming it as her brainchild. If “working on“ had actually been expressed as “coding, based on an existing BBC format”, that would have sounded a lot better. And VCM is onto it, as she has replied to the tweet, but frankly there isn’t much she or the BBC can do about it. |
