Thanks to Peg and Sue, my first thought today was the song Peggy Sue By Buddy Holly. Being a classic of the Rock’n’Roll era helped guide me to the green group – though I initially thought I was looking for parts of a guitar, rather than the more general features of strictly instruments.
Sharp protrusions I got after making a mistake of thinking it was about healing someone, so I had a stick instead of spine before then thought it had something to do with hedgehogs – which was kind of correct.
My next mistake was to think that there was a group that was linked to rap (oh, the irony) with May, power and desire. It took me foolish and added Sue and got “one away” before I saw litigation. A case of sample and error.
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.
