They say that every day is a school day and there is no day off until Christmas Day because today I learned that solfoge is a music education system that uses syllables like Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do to teach pitch recognition.
The first thing I thought when I saw the board was that LAREDO didn’t fit anything. I knew it was a city in Texas and also the title of a great Band of Horses song, but I couldn’t see the link to the other word that doesn’t fit well today, SOLTI.
THINGS WITH STEMS I understood them very quickly, but not because I thought they were all things with stems but because I thought they were all emojis linked in some way. I love how you can be wrong but also right when playing Connections.

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.
