My
rating:
Easy
My
score:
Perfect

I’m
a
big
fan
of
two
of
today’s
Connections
groups.
I
love
green,
SPIKY
THINGS,
partly
because
HEDGEHOGs
are
just
great,
right?
But
also
because
I
like
the
idea
of
a
hedgehog
being
in
a
group
with
a
MACE,
a
CACTUS
and
a
PINEAPPLE.
It
amuses
me
for
some
reason.

Meanwhile,
purple
–
which
I
didn’t
solve
except
by
default
–
is
a
clever
one,
challenging
players
to
work
out
that
these
are
all
THINGS
THAT
ARE
CAPPED.
I’m
glad
that
I
didn’t
need
to
work
that
one
out
myself.

How
did
you
do
today?

me
an
email

let
me

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.
