I had cooked breakfast on my mind today, so I’m annoyed that I didn’t get Purple Group and especially Bacon Strip.
That said, this was a pretty straightforward game that was missing any of the normal traps. In fact, you could say it was absent, minus, sense and lack of its usual trickery, with comics the only gag pairing (unless I missed one).
Out of the four groups, the one that was ranked as the easiest-letter signal potential had to be the most difficult considering how old-fashioned ending a letter sincerely.
It doesn’t look like long ago that I would fight to write it or faithfully at the end of job applications. Now is the best way to go – or what our AI friends think.

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.
