How often do you resolve connections in the yellow-green-blue-purple difficulty order?
I feel like it’s pretty rare for me – I don’t want to check! – Although I get purple last 99% of the time.
It all seemed very straightforward today without many traps. My only loving moment was to follow a rolling course that I initially thought was about material and patterns. I should have gotten bowling results faster, but being a pretty shaking player that I had never encountered the turkey (three consecutive strikes).
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.

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.
