Connections is the gold standard for 'good' screen time. It’s a five-minute brain teaser that rewards patience and flexible thinking. Unlike most mobile games that try to keep you trapped for hours, this one gives you your puzzle and then politely tells you to go away until tomorrow.
While there is a Maine-based mental health agency with the same name (Connections for Kids) that does great, licensed work for foster families, the 2023 website phenomenon you're likely looking for is the NYT puzzle. It's clean, smart, and a perfect way to model healthy digital habits—using the internet for a specific, high-quality purpose and then logging off.
