Yesterday, I was excited about the prospect of getting all four groups in difficulty order for the third day in a row. Unfortunately, I failed in my mission.
After getting the yellow and green groups pretty quickly, I was left with 16 words and only an idea of what the connection could be – Star Trek.
When I showed my complete lack of knowledge of this topic, I thought we were looking for species that were part of the long -lasting franchise, but knowing only vulcan was a meaningless (no word game calculated) task.
Instead, I saw the tennis players. Borg had been one of mine Star Trek Opportunities, but I soon remembered Bjorn, the excellent Fila Attired 1970s superstar whose life took an unexpected detour to the world of underwear design.

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.
