A huge thank you to the kind contributor who submitted a PR to get the connections rules working again after the NYT added a new cookie banner!

I'll avoid mentioning them by name to help preserve a veneer of anonymity, but feel free to shout yourself out in the replies if you want.

It seems I get the most difficult ones no problem, but then struggle with β€œeasier” ones.
