Dear NYT I was rather touched by the Connections game today. IS IT A TRAP? I hope not. I enjoyed it. Best wishes VCM / #OnlyConnect

@VictoriaCoren I noticed that. Only Connect Olive Branch. Has there been tension?

@VictoriaCoren It was a trap - they were referring to Connect Four - a significantly inferior game to Only Connect!

@VictoriaCoren I guess the apology is better late than never

@VictoriaCoren If I see a sequence: E M Forster > BBC4 > BBC2 will no. 4 be NY Times

@VictoriaCoren I thought of you as soon as I saw it! šŸ˜†

@VictoriaCoren First thing I noticed too but geek and single weren’t on the grid so an obvious trap😁

@VictoriaCoren Yes that cannot be a coincidence. NYT should be paying royalties. Maybe they want to consult as the wall is better thought out?

@VictoriaCoren Proves that they watch your programme, or someone told them about your comments.

@VictoriaCoren Cocktails too! Right up your street 😊

@VictoriaCoren Can indeed confirm it is a trap - never trust those Yankee!

@VictoriaCoren I came here to send you a screenshot in case you hadn’t seen it.

@VictoriaCoren It was nice to see them offering an olive branch to Only Connect.

@VictoriaCoren Spotted it immediately and felt angry for you all!

@VictoriaCoren I thought it was some kind of apology

@VictoriaCoren As I said this morning it would have been nice if one correct line had been ā€œFab Only Connect Fanā€ …

@VictoriaCoren It would have been a trap!

@VictoriaCoren Brilliant

@VictoriaCoren Its great to see you enjoyed it! Connections can be tricky, but thats what makes it fun. Hope it keeps surprising and engaging you!

@VictoriaCoren I didn’t fall for it. Knew it was a trap.

@VictoriaCoren Yes. It struck me as more than a coincidence too.

@VictoriaCoren It was so sweet.

@VictoriaCoren Oh it was rather lovely wasnt it?

@VictoriaCoren Lol, perfect šŸ‘Œ

@VictoriaCoren Haha! I had forgotten about that NYT game.

@VictoriaCoren Very satisfying today!
