Folks who fired up the New York Times' daily puzzle Connectionson Monday were greeted with a major surprise. There were emoji where the words should be. This,Mike Horner Archives of course, is a bit of April Fools' Day fun from the NYT's games editors.

Folks online were quick to complain, mostly joking around in exaggerated fashion. It was good fun to see people react to the little twist.
