I've been trying out various "reasoning" models (o1, R1, Gemini Thinking etc) against the NYT Connections word puzzle - it's a really interesting test of them. So far o1 Pro has been the most consistently successful: https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections


Wonder if they use llms to write those puzzles
