Madding is the only way to describe today’s links.
I rugged the yellow and green groups, first thinking: “It could not be as simple as being simply German words”? Exceptional was just as undisputed. But then I hit the wall.
Before finally realizing that the connections were plurals, I first thought that it had to be something unique to animals, so I put shrimp, calmars, lice and mice together, thinking that they all had flexible bodies or something. Yes, fairly fair, I was coming.
Then, when I realized that it was linguistics, I still did not understand it completely and included lice instead of the deer.
As exasperating as it was (I would say that the oxen is not so different from oxym), I admire how singular and death (the singular dice) were also in the puzzle.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

What is NYT connections?
Nyt Connections is one of the many increasingly popular puns produced 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 level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and generally very difficult.
On the positive side, you do not technically need to resolve the last, because you can respond to it by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing margin.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are a lot of opportunities so that the game makes you trip with towers. For example, pay attention to homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT games site on the desktop or mobile.
