For a while, I suspected there was a baseball -themed group in today’s puzzle, with jug, dough, infield and, sleeve candlestick after the legendary stadium maybe?
Fortunately, I excluded this blind spawning and concentrated on successfully collecting things to climb and cook.
The last groups were less straightforward, but I knew that Rhombus is diamond-shaped and that a baseball infield is too, so I added gems and took a gamble with a suit before later realizing this was referring to a suit in a card tire.
And there was me thinking it might be a fancy a bit of clothes that one like Timothée Chalamet might wear Met Gala …

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.
