I know she’s happy building her cosmetics and fashion empires and becoming one of the richest business moguls in the world, but I miss Rihanna being a pop star. She was excellent at it.
That being said, I’m embarrassed that I completely missed all of RIHANNA’s #1 HITS. I blame his absence from the radio for the last decade.
Instead, I managed to gather the purple group, although I only had BLANKET and NURSE to continue, I guessed my way to success after initially thinking that wet WORK existed. Maybe that’s what they call it if your job is an UMBRELLA tester?

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.
