Of course, the very first thing I did today was after falling for the trap of connecting the unique versions of the four famous New York Sports Teams – Net, Jet, Giant, Knick.
Sometimes these obvious links are a set, sometimes connections play a trick on us.
After fooling me with two basketball teams, I should have seen faster that there would be a group of basketball theme, with back plate, nets, rod and edge that make up parts of a basketball brace. Instead, it took until the end for me to realize.
The word Rabe prevented me from getting gays of synonyms to “nab”. I was ready to write an e -mail with complaint when Google told me that it is actually pronounced “Rob” and is a number of broccoli. Kudos if you saw it.

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.
