If today’s New York Times Connections grid has you burning through your mistakes, you are not alone. Puzzle #1108 features some heavy misdirection, with several words seemingly fitting into more common themes before pulling the rug out from under you.

Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary
Watch out for the red herrings today. At first glance, words like Deed and Token look like they could belong to a general business or ownership theme, while others may seem to fit online trends or hobbies. Committing to those surface meanings early will cost you lives. We recommend looking closely at different contexts and definitions for each word. This will help you see the less obvious links and make the remaining 12 words significantly easier to manage.
