I ended today’s connections without ever knowing what the four groups were until I got them correct – I just thought they belonged.
It is part of the two-layer wonder/satisfaction/disappointment loop of this particular puzzle. You can rush through it and still feel like you don’t know anything – and I know absolutely nothing about info on a baseball card – which in turn can make you feel either blessed or like you’ve gotten away with something.
I am definitely in the latter camp. “He got away with it (so far)” is all that needs to be said in my obituary.
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.
