I first got parts of a record player, though I was surprised that this was the yellow one when we talk about a technology that, although revived, is still quite niche. It was also the only group that had the most crossovers, with both tapes and threads possible inclusions.
I was far from getting started with gay. In fact, I was so far out that I thought they could all fight nicknames.

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.
