The light connections puzzle continue with another day, but I still managed to do hard work on it.
I kick myself a little today when I had bumper and shock together and thought there was a car parts group. If I thought a little harder I could have solved the purple group.
Despite being a fan of Madonna songs, I still managed to turn up the group by initially thinking it was something to do with vacations and make my single – but very regrettable – mistake.

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.
