Sometimes a little bit of knowledge is all you need to make connections, and that was definitely the case for me today.
I knew (they) left and (The) Martian was Matt Damon movie, albeit those who were missing “The”, and guessed he was also in Rainmaker and Good Shepherd.
Meanwhile, for the left leg, I politically needed to stop thinking like someone based in Britain, where the right-wing conservative party is blue and the liberal party is Midtist.

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.
