Community Spotlight Steve Southsea from Portsmouth shares his experience with Connections Puzzle #639:

“I only started playing this game a couple of weeks ago and recently discovered the comments section. It’s like a tiny community within itself, filled with amazing individuals. Reading through the comments paints a vivid picture of the writers’ locations and gives a glimpse into their day. It’s a wonderfully refreshing contrast to the communication seen in other mediums.”
