It was a tough Connections to end the year for anyone playing outside of the US.
Fortunately my love Rocky (I’m a fan of slow motion training scenes) saw me at home with PHILADELPHIA. I also have a restaurant near me called Fat Phill’s, whose specialty is Philly cheese, so I know the legendary sandwich very well.
More universal was the group PLACES WHERE THINGS DISAPPEAR. There are two mysteries in the modern family home: where does the remote control go and why do I have so many weird socks? The answers to both are found in this quartet.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created 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 difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
