- Green: Ordinary components of board games Table, short, dice, pieces
- Blue: Heteronyms Axes, bass, coordinate, do

- My rating: Hard
- My score: Fail
I made a mess of this game. My first mistake was thinking we were looking for a group that was about cooking – roasting, dice, chopping and flame.
Then I assembled all the instruments before I made a third mistake to put together a group of words vigilant associated with being fired from a job – cards, axes, chop, explosion.
Basically I didn’t have a clue!
Before I fail again, however, I managed to put together the critical group that criticized hard.

What are new connections?
New Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four objects that share something in common, and each group has another level of difficulty: green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you do not have to technically solve the last one, as you can answer one by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of breathing room.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to get up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played free of charge via the new Games website on desktop or mobile.
