4 groups of 4 sci-fi characters... can you place them in the right groups?
(i'm trying and calibrating the difficulty... any feedback can help me make better puzzles in the future!)
Sci-fi themed Connections — 16 characters grouped by hidden tag. All from space operas, cyberpunk, dystopias. Let me know if the Purple tier is too brutal.
Been playing Connections every day for a year and kept thinking this would be so much harder with sci-fi characters. So I built it.
It's called Stargrid. Same idea: 16 characters/ships/planets... find the 4 hidden groups. Instead of "things that come before BALL" it's stuff like "assassins" or "characters who came back from the dead."
Today's puzzle has Luke Skywalker, John Connor, Fenring... and a few others. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to finish my own game.
Free, no signup, new puzzle every day. Would love to know if the difficulty feels right — I'm worried it's too hard for casual fans and too easy for the nerds.

Description:
Stargrid is a connection game, in the style if NYT connections. What makes it different is the sci-fi theme: all words and categories pertain to science fiction universes and franchises - from Star Wars to Terminator.
I am curious to hear if you think the game is too difficult.

this is the first time I release a web game, Claude Code helped me tremendously, but the choosing of the connections and categories etc is the real hard part - I would love feedback on that, thank you.
