The answers to today’s connections, the game # 802, are…
- Yellow: blunder Boo-Boo, Flub, Gaffe, Non Non
- Green: Land of imagination Dream, fantasy, la-la, never never
- Blue: things with the antenna / e Insect, radio tower, satellite dish, telebby
- Violet: ____ doodle Cheese, dipsy, google, yankee
- My note: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The connections teased us with two teletubbies, and if I did not know that the missing characters were Tinky-Winky and PO, I may have been tempted to tinker with a quartet with Boo-Boo and Flub, both as if they could be primary strangers.
Instead, I remembered that a main characteristic of the species of teletubby was the curly antenna above their bulbous heads, which they have in common with the insect, the radio tower and the satellite dish.
I am happy to have this unnecessary knowledge because I would never have gathered _____ Doodle, having never heard the Dipsy Doodle sentence or having an idea of what a cheese doodle could be; This special variety of cheese puff is not available in the United Kingdom, where Wotsit reigns supreme.

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.
