Yesterday, I was delighted with the prospect of obtaining the four groups in difficulty for the third consecutive day. Unfortunately, I failed in my mission.
After obtaining the yellow and green groups fairly quickly, I ended up with 16 words and only one idea of what the connection could be – Star Trek.
Showing my total lack of knowledge on this subject, I thought we were looking for species that were in the longtime franchise, but not knowing that Vulcan, it was an unnecessary task (without puns).
Instead, I saw the tennis players. Borg had been one of my Star Trek Possibilities but I quickly remembered Bjorn, the excellent superstar of the 1970s, whose life has taken an unexpected detour in the world of underwear.

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.
