Of course, the very first thing I did today was fall for the trap of the connection of the singular versions of the four famous sports teams from New York – Net, Jet, Giant, Knick.
Sometimes these obvious links are a whole, connections sometimes play a tip.
After having mistaken myself with two basketball teams, I should have seen more quickly than there would be a group on the theme of basketball, with panels, net, post and rim constituting parts of a basketball hoop. Instead, it took me until the end for me to achieve.
The word rabe prevented me from obtaining synonymous homophones for “nab”. I was ready to write a complaint when Google told me that it was indeed pronounced “Rob” and is a variety of broccoli. Congratulations if you have seen it.

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.
