It was a difficult time to end the year with Connections for anyone playing outside of the United States.
Fortunately, my love of Rocky (I’m a fan of slow motion training scenes) saw me at home with ASSOCIED WITH PHILADELPHIA. I also have a restaurant near me called Fat Phill’s, whose specialty is Philly Cheese – so I’m very familiar with the legendary sandwich.
More universal was the group PLACES WHERE THINGS DISAPPEAR. There are two mysteries in the modern family home: where does the remote go and why do I have so many weird socks? The answers to these two questions lie within this quartet.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created 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 level: green is easy, yellow is a little more difficult, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the final question, as you will be able to answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.
However, it’s a bit more complex than something like Wordle, and the game provides plenty of opportunities to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT Games website on computer or mobile.
