- Green: In NATO -Fonetic alphabet Bravo, Delta, Golf, Lima
- Blue: Ford models Bronco, Fiesta, Mustang, Pinto
- Purple: ___ Sealing Elephant, large, fleet, vacuum
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The kidney, the navy and pinto have all appeared in connections before in a prayer category, and for a while I thought I was looking for a repetition – some beans are notorious for. But I’ll take off. Instead, I added Lima to the mixture.
Unfortunately, no beanie connections this time. Then I remembered Lima’s place in the NATO phoenetic alphabet along with Bravo, Delta and Golf.
I can never remember all the words and more often than will not come up with some random alternatives when I am forced to spell my name. Instead of Lima, I would probably go to Llama or Liverpool.

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.
