- My score: Fail
Today’s series of connections was incredibly difficult, then congratulations to all those who obtained it.
The only group I managed to find was the easiest yellow. Even with that, I had uncertainty about inclusion, including Save, which did not seem to correspond to the other three words.
However, I completely trapped with the other three groups. I suspected that the pentacles had something to do with witchcraft, so I tried to evoke a group with baguettes and assortment others.
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of tarot cards, not to mention the members of the combinations of minor mysteries. It looks like niche knowledge for a blue group.
My other blind alley thought that the cups and liters were in a quartet of measurements and that there were terms to knit beyond knitting and perl.
A versatile disaster. I hope you did better.

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.
