Some connecting groups are so easy that you can’t help but doubt yourself and think, “this must be a trap”.
I had this feeling twice today, fixing a hole in clothing and then with anagrams that seemed too obvious – although I was very relieved, it was also correct.
This was then one of the easy days of the connection – a welcome break from recent games – and one when even the purple group was simple. Well, if you eat a lot of kind of cookies it is. Healthy people may have fought. I’m not one of them.

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.
