I really enjoy the little jokes in connections when I see those who are not always, and today the pearl and jam tiles jumped out right away. I often feel as if these bits of word games are the starting point for the creators.
Either way, this was a particularly difficult start to the marveling week that took me a long time to put together.
At first I thought pipe cleaner and pom-pom belong together when they were made of wool or false wool, but this thought process led me up a blind alley that cost me a mistake.
Then I thought we were looking for elements of adventure so I had pea to Princess and PeasFeathers to The three feathersand pearl to The last gem. It cost me another mistake before I started getting things right.
I got pipe-smoking accessories thanks to lighter and pipe cleaner and then situation and small spherical things fell into place. Challenging, but I’m glad it’s over.

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.
