Each day, connections find a new way to either teach me or confuse me. Today it was … both.
I knew A is for effort and for Apple, while V is for Vendetta. But what is cookie doing in [LETTER] (S) for __ group? And what’s the matter with the square bracket rounded fittings? Is this an equation?
When I realized I have to suffer from a terrible pop-culturap, a google revealed after the game that the answer was related to the cookie monster from Sesame Street. I should have known.
I made two mistakes that tried to get that group together. The other came earlier in the game when I put apple in with the other trees. A Too annoying.

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.
