Clean luck got me over the line without making any mistakes today. I had no idea what a big rig is, but Axles, Hitch and Trailer all sounded like they had to be part of something mechanical and I took a chance to add a tractor.
I would never have got dance events plus a light. I try to re-unnotic my Connection-Thinking Process so I can see these difficult groups, but I always go to the most obvious links-and in this case I thought that promo and discog had something to do with music; Back then, when I was a music journalist, we called an artist’s discography for their discog, and a promotion was a record you would be sent before the official release. The connection itself was inevitably a little more complicated!
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.

What is 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 elements that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty: Green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite cool and purple usually very difficult.
On the positive side, you technically do not have to solve the last one, as you will be able to answer it by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of respite.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to let you go up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played for free via the new Games page on desktop or mobile.
