After yesterday’s cryptic hoax we returned to reality with a simpler game.
There were a couple of red herrings hidden among the tiles, but luckily I resisted the temptation to look up rap acts and instead saw the link between DRAKE, STALLION and BUCK, taking a chance on DRONE, which I knew was a word related to bees.
CARDI and MIGOS ended up in a group together, but it was ENDS OF LIQUOR BRANDS more than music that brought them together. Cardi B, of course, was married to Migos member Offset, and adding to the interconnections, Cardi promotes Whipshots, a line of vodka-infused whipped cream, and Migos member Quavo had his own line of white vodka. Thanks Google.

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 items 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.
