If yesterday was Easy Street, then today was closer to the Hall of Hell.
At least that’s what I thought when I worked on the last eight words. I could only see two groups of two – bug and ruffle plus brakes and gas – so it took a bet and an error before finally going home.
It was not until later when I intrigued myself on the iron that I remembered Pumping plagueThe Great Bodybuilding Documentary on the 1975 winner of Mr. Olympia, alias Arnold Schwarzenegger.

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 puns that could disguise the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT games site on the desktop or mobile.
