THON-Inspired Connections: Group Words By Topic

Want to play another round of “Connections?”

A few weeks ago, we created our own version of the popular “Connections” game created by The New York Times. Our version focused on Penn State-related categories and words.

If you’d like to play along for yourself, we’ve attached the link to play here.

Happy THONnections, folks!
