If I’ve learned one thing from today’s Connections, it’s this: don’t play when you have a hangover. Only a slight one, admittedly, but still enough to knock off my stride apparently. Although that said, I don’t know if I would have solved it anyway. The first group, ‘School facilities’, should have been getable, but it would never occur to me to associate an AUDITORIUM with a school. Possibly not a LAB, either; I think maybe schools in the UK in the 1980s were a little less well served with facilities than the average American high school…
I should definitely have got the green ROULETTE BETS group, but instead got hung up on colors. I thought maybe there was a labrador retriever connection, possibly because I have one myself, so played various combinations of RED, GOLDEN, BLACK, CHOCOLATE and GREY until I exhausted all of my guesses. I simply couldn’t see what other connection there was. I’d never have got the ‘Dove’ group, because I’ve never heard of dove chocolate, and though I could have got the _Goose group, I simply didn’t spot that connection either. Poor form.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
