MS puzzles: 2025 year in review edition


Hey y’all, I hope you all had a good Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, or whatever other holidays you chose to observe during this festive time of year.

While we’re all resting this week and getting ready to start 2026 on a good note, I decided it was a nice time to play some more games, with a 2025 wrapped theme.

Like Halloween, there is a Wordle (and thanks to NYT devs, it’s now actually real Wordle instead of a knockoff), a Connections puzzle, and a mini crossword. This time, the Connections is a little easier, and the crossword is a little harder.

If you get stuck at any point, remember that both of these puzzles are strictly within the category of 2025 Year in Review.

Good luck on the puzzles, enjoy your New Year’s Eve, and I’ll be back to more regular posting on Thursday.
