  • BLUE: DOOFUS CLOWN, DWEEB, SAP, TURKEY
  • PURPLE: MEMBER OF A SEPTET DWARF, SEA, SIN, WONDER

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

My streak reached 10 today, which is not particularly impressive but which does at least point the way to Connections being in the midst of a rare placid period. Will it change soon? Almost certainly. Am I complaining? No!

After all, it’s not like it still didn’t get me thinking. Rather, each of these four groups was solvable with a bit of thinking and without the need for specialist knowledge. Yellow, green and blue were all fairly simple synonym-style groups, purple was the only more difficult one, being a clever connection of ‘things of which there are seven’ – SINs and WONDERs etc. I didn’t need to solve it, because I had the other three by then, but I feel like I’d have had a chance – and that’s all that I ask of my daily Connections, a chance of success.

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.

一男子因利用假冒iPhone诈保牟利超百万美元而被判两年监禁

0 cnBeta.COM   2022-02-02 17:45:16 摘要:美国司法部周二公告称:一名男子因参与利用假冒 iPhone 申请售后、对苹果公司造成超百万美元的损失,而被判处 26 个月的监禁。32 岁的 Haiteng Wu 于 2013 年前往美国攻读工科,并于 2015 年获得硕士学位。尽管两年后合法就业,但与此同时,他也开始了一项为期三年半的诈保计划。 公告指出,当事人谋划了从香港接收 IMEI 和序列号与正品苹果设备相对应的仿冒品,然后与其他同谋者将这些声称还在质保期内的假冒 iPhone 退还给苹果。在成功骗取了替换用的真机后,赃物又被其发回在香港的同谋者那里转手牟利。更让人无语的是,Wu 还将包括妻子在内许多人拉下了水。为了“壮大”iPhone 诈保的生意,他还涉及伪造身份证件、开设多个商业收件箱、以及安排其他参与者穿越美国。但在美国土安全部 / 国土安全调查局 / 邮政监察局的联合督导下,Wu 最终承认其从苹果公司诈取仅百万美元的财物。但若团伙没有在 2019 年落网,他们还打算继续开展下去。2020 年 5 月,Wu 承认犯下一项串谋邮件欺诈罪。周二的时候,法官 Emmet G. Sullivan 终于对已服刑 26 个月的 Wu 下达了裁定。除了罚没非法所得,他还必须支付 98.7 万美元的赔偿金。至于 Wu 的妻子 Cai 女士,也于 2020 年 5 月承认在某县犯下了一项串谋邮件欺诈罪。
