Yeah, watches are a problem. Some possibilities:

Some clever horloger will find a simple mechanism to perform calendar-based warping.

After spending that much money on a watch, you'll be glad to be forced to play with it every few days. Makers will add the ability to move forward or back by seconds.

Our AI overlords will come to the same conclusion on their own and will not care about watches.

This is pretty cool!

Would like to see explanations for the connections which are sometimes not obvious.

Maybe make a video showing how it adapts as you make guesses. I wasn't sure what was happening when the first green arrow showed up.

I also like NYT Connections and have the feeling a better version could be created that would, like this, let you try out 2 and 3-word groupings visually before committing to a possible red-herring.

Update Jan 11:

Originally designed to map world history, Constellations has evolved into a Universal Bipartite Explorer. It uses LLMs to identify the fundamental "Atomic" building blocks and the "Composite" collections that connect them in any domain.

Supported Bipartite Pairs: History: Person (Atomic) ↔ Event/Project (Composite) Cinema: Actor/Director (Atomic) ↔ Movie/TV Show (Composite) Sports: Player (Atomic) ↔ Team (Composite) Culinary: Ingredient (Atomic) ↔ Recipe (Composite) Medicine: Symptom (Atomic) ↔ Disease (Composite) Academia: Researcher (Atomic) ↔ Paper/Grant (Composite)
