Did you know that if you had to put the whole track of the New York Metro from start to finish, it would happen to Chicago?
I know it because today’s connections sent me to a Wikipedia rabbit hole looking at the underground transit systems in the world.
Anyway, I get lost. It was a great game for me, because I finished it in the order of colors and it made me feel smarter than me.
It was mainly due to getting used to decorating a snowman – giving us this group in the middle of the summer is a little devious, but seeing coal and carrots next to each other, I knew what we were looking for.

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.
