Another shocking light game, without any of the standard traps or controversy we have become accustomed to.
For anyone who was aware of Nintendo and Sega games in the 1990s and/or terrible films, today’s purple group was quite easy. My knowledge of this sphere is limited as I played exclusively golf and football games where my obsession was such that I had no time for anything else at all.
That said, my daughters came deep into Super Mario WorldSo much so that the phrase “it’s me mario”, expressed by everyone’s favorite citizen, still repeats around my brain, after hearing it so many millions of times.
Three light games in a row mean only one thing – tomorrow will be a nightmare.

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.
