There’s
a
distinctive

Star
Wars

theme
to
some
of
the
words
in
today’s
Connections,
which
as
a
child
of
the
1980s
I
obviously
love.
SOLO,
CHEWY,
BOBA
and
EMPEROR
are
all
in
there,
but
sadly
the
NYT
couldn’t
find
a
way
to
squeeze
in
MILLENNIUM
FALCON
(although
HAWK,
who
is
a
Star
Wars
character,
is
in
there).
HAWK
was
not
part
of
the
Star
Wars
group,
but
the
other
four
were,
forming
the
blue
CHARACTERS
IN
“THE
EMPIRE
STRIKES
BACK,”
FAMILIARLY
connection.
The
NYT
is
fond
of
this
kind
of
grouping,
having
given
us
a
JURASSIC
PARK
one
recently
too.

With
that
easy
blue
ticked
off
I
was
on
the
path
to
another
success

that’s
14
in
a
row

but
I
made
life
hard
for
myself
by
getting
tangled
up
in
the
yellow
PRESUME
and
green
SOMEBODY
groups.
FIGURE
seemed
like
it
could
go
with
CHARACTER,
PERSON
and
INDIVIDUAL,
but
it
didn’t,
and
then
I
swapped
CHARACTER
for
SUSPECT
instead
but
that
was
also
wrong.
Eventually
I
realized
my
mistake
and
put
PARTY
in
the
green
group,
enabling
me
to
solve
both
that
and
yellow
and
not
need
to
worry
about
purple.

How
did
you
do
today?

Send
me
an
email

and
let
me
know.

What
is
NYT
Connections?

NYT
Connections
is
one
of
several
increasingly
popular
word
games
made
by
the
New
York
Times.
It
challenges
you
to
find
groups
of
four
items
that
share
something
in
common,
and
each
group
has
a
different
difficulty
level:
green
is
easy,
yellow
a
little
harder,
blue
often
quite
tough
and
purple
usually
very
difficult.

On
the
plus
side,
you
don’t
technically
need
to
solve
the
final
one,
as
you’ll
be
able
to
answer
that
one
by
a
process
of
elimination.
What’s
more,
you
can
make
up
to
four
mistakes,
which
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room.

It’s
a
little
more
involved
than
something
like
Wordle,
however,
and
there
are
plenty
of
opportunities
for
the
game
to
trip
you
up
with
tricks.
For
instance,
watch
out
for
homophones
and
other
word
games
that
could
disguise
the
answers.

It’s
playable
for
free
via
the

NYT
Games
site

on
desktop
or
mobile.
