The article contains some instances of informal fallacies, specifically an appeal to authority in the author's reflection on her past experiences with Connections puzzles. She states that she 'kicked things off by getting the purple category' and that she 'recognized they were all terms for grades of collectibles.' This implies that her past successes with Connections puzzles have given her confidence in her ability to solve them, making it an appeal to her own authority. However, this does not detract significantly from the overall quality of the article as it is a personal reflection and does not directly impact the accuracy or validity of any claims made.
I kicked things off by getting the purple category
It was one of those, I didn’t want to admit that mammoth and titanic were related.
