Each day, connections find a new way of teaching or confusing me. Today it was … both.
I knew that A is for effort and for Apple, while V is for Vendetta. But what does cookies do in the [LETTER] (Is) for __ group? And what is the rounded support of the square support? Is it an equation?
Realizing that I must suffer from a terrible gap in pop culture, an post-match google revealed that the answer was linked to the monster cookie of Sesame Street. I should have known.
I made two mistakes trying to bring this group together. The other came earlier in the game, when I put Apple with other trees. ‘S boring.

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.
