After two consecutive defeats, I am just relieved to have finished the connections today.
Not that it is easy, with the multiple traps (scar and Simba of The Lion King being the most obvious).
I knew that the inclusion of the first pop star in space, Katy Perry, had to do with one of her songs – but all I could think was Fireworks And Hot and cold And none of them helped. I’m bored, I missed it.
It’s funny how you sometimes get groups. I was trying to think of all the things Mamba could be (snakes, candy, sports, it was not a long list) and added “number five” even if I knew it was relevant for mambo not mamba – Then he clicked.
I’m great to get a purple group, even if it was in a kind of roundabout.
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.
