About Rainbow Connections

Rainbow Connections is a color-coded brainstorming overlay designed specifically for the daily New York Times Connections game. It adds a persistent side panel tool directly inside your browser, allowing you to safely map out overlapping words and test your theories using the game's four official difficulty colors--all without wasting your four valuable native guesses! FEATURES * Safe Brainstorming Canvas: Use the four difficulty tiers (Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) to track potential group configurations. * Non-Invasive Shortcuts: Hold SHIFT + Click to paint or clear a tile overlay. Normal clicks are completely preserved for submitting your official guesses to the NYT game board. * One-Click Wipe: Use the "CLEAR ALL MARKERS" button to erase your entire note-taking canvas in one clean stroke. * Persistent Side Panel UI: Stays open on the right edge of your browser window while you work through the word grid.
