We’ve got a couple more Nebagamon themed connections games for you to test your Nebagamon knowledge! Connections has simple rules: find groups of four connected items that share something in common, e.g. VILLAGES: Swamper, Logger, Axeman, Lumberjack, or, “____ DOCK”: Fishing, Canoeing, Swimming, Rowing. Write down your groups with their connection, and when you’re ready, the solutions are linked beneath each puzzle. This month, we have two puzzles to share — the second one is a bit harder than the first! If you prefer to play connections in a clickable format, you can play the easy puzzle here and the hard puzzle here.
