This was a tough tie to end the year with for anyone playing outside the US.
Fortunately, my love for Rocky (I’m a sucker for slow motion training scenes) saw me home with ASSOCIATED WITH PHILADELPHIA. I also have a restaurant near me called Fat Phill’s whose specialty is a Philly Cheese – so I know the legendary sandwich well.
More universal was the group PLACES WHERE THINGS DISAPPEAR. There are two mysteries in the modern family household: Where does the remote control go and why do I have so many strange socks? The answers to both lay among this quartet.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different degree of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough, and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the last one, as you’ll be able to answer it by a process of elimination. Also, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a bit more involved than something like Wordle, though, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to let you beat yourself up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that can hide the answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
