- My rating: Stupid
- My score: Failure
Another day, another Connections fail. And I don’t even care, it’s just stupid. Look, how am I supposed to know what’s on the back of American coins? I’m not in the US! I DON’T CARE WHAT’S ON THE BACK. Do you know what’s on the back of British coins? No. So why should I know what’s on American coins?
And what is a WEDGE salad? I have never heard that term before. So yeah, whatever, I failed. Until tomorrow, when I will undoubtedly fail again, because this game is biased and stupid.
How was your day? Send me an email and let me know.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games from the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a bit harder, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically have to solve the last question, because you can answer it by elimination. Plus, you can make a maximum of four mistakes, which gives you some breathing room.
It is a bit more complicated than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other wordplay that can obscure the answers.
It is free to play via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
