Did you know that if you had to put all the track of the New York metro from end to end, would it reach all the way to Chicago?
I know this because today’s connections sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole looking at the world’s underground transit systems.
Still, I’ll take off. This was a great game for me when I finished it in color order and it made me feel smarter than I am.
This was mainly down to get used to decorating a snowman – giving us this group in the middle of the summer is a little sneaky, but to see coal and carrot next to each other I knew what we were looking for.

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.
