- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 mistake
This was a Connections where you had to say some of the words out loud in order to get them. And also a cunning edition where the answer to one group (CONSTELLATION) was a word in another (BUNCH).
Initially, these crossovers got me quite confused as I attempted a group with TAROT and ZODIAC and for reasons unknown but vaguely, in my addled reasoning, to do with reading the future added LEONARDO and SEVEN (Leonardo Da Vinci was a visionary whose paintings included what looks like a helicopter, the number seven has mystical properties).
Seeing BUNCH sent me on the right path, before I saw the movie link and started talking to myself.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is an engaging word puzzle created by the New York Times that’s gaining popularity among puzzle enthusiasts. The objective is to identify groups of four words, each sharing a common trait or theme. These groups vary in difficulty and are color-coded: green represents the easiest, yellow slightly more challenging, blue can be quite difficult, and purple usually presents the most formidable challenge. Fortunately, the final category can often be solved through elimination, and you’re allowed up to four incorrect guesses, providing some flexibility.
While similar to Wordle, NYT Connections demands more thought and strategy. The puzzle can cleverly deceive players with tricks like homophones or hidden meanings, so staying attentive and thinking carefully about possible connections is important.
