Seeing two Spanish cities in the 16 -word grid threw me immediately, and it was only before the last two groups that I dismissed the possibility of them being part of the same group – though Connections Spider Senses knew they were not.
For justification, I thought we were looking for construction conditions, but I was happy to get the right four words regardless.
Types of snow were lighter, but I will admit that although I knew Seville, butterfly and flute were all the last words with famous opera titles (barber of Sevilla, Madame Butterfly and Magic Flute) I didn’t think of Porgy when I added Bess.
I’m annoyed that I didn’t get really ____, especially when it included Spanish football team Real Madrid – the real in their case that means royal rather than real.

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.
