The second I saw E Street Band among the answers today I knew I had to play it first. I’m a massive Bruce Springsteen fan \u2014 he’s by a distance the greatest live performer I’ve\u00a0ever seen \u2014 and the legendary E Street Band are very much a part of that. The obvious connection was ‘boss’ (because Springsteen is of course ‘The Boss’), and that fit well with MAFIA, HOT SEAT and COMPANY as things that all have a boss. But it was wrong. Just ‘one away’, but wrong all the same.<\/p>\n
Rather than risk another\u00a0mistake I looked elsewhere\u00a0and realized there were four Muppets on the board: FOZZIE, GONZO, ANIMAL and BEAKER. I don’t love the Muppets quite as much as the E Street Band, but there’s not a lot in it; ANIMAL would be a great addition to it, actually.<\/p>\n
I was surprised to see that was the blue group, given that it was quite an easy one, so I was confident I’d now be able to solve them all. Sounding out the remaining words gave me yellow, STARTING WITH THE SAME SOUND, SPELLED DIFFERENTLY.<\/p>\n
Next, I spotted that FISHBOWL, SPOTLIGHT, MICROSCOPE and HOT SEAT all seemed to go together as ‘being the focus of something’. They were \u2014 the actual answer was METAPHORS FOR PUBLIC SCRUTINY \u2014 but I didn’t guess it yet, because I wanted to solve the E Street Band one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, I looked again at the other four words that must go together, namely MAFIA, E STREET BAND, VIDEO GAME and COMPANY and realized that VIDEO GAMES also often have a boss (as in ‘boss fight’), so guessed that and got purple.

What is NYT Connections?<\/h3>\n
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made 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 a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.<\/p>\n
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.<\/p>\n
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.<\/p>\n
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.<\/p>\n

- My rating:<\/strong> Moderate<\/li>\n
- My score: <\/strong>1 mistake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The second I saw E Street Band among the answers today I knew I had to play it first. I’m a massive Bruce Springsteen fan \u2014 he’s by a distance the greatest live performer I’ve\u00a0ever seen \u2014 and the legendary E Street Band are very much a part of that. The obvious connection was ‘boss’ (because Springsteen is of course ‘The Boss’), and that fit well with MAFIA, HOT SEAT and COMPANY as things that all have a boss. But it was wrong. Just ‘one away’, but wrong all the same.<\/p>\n
Rather than risk another\u00a0mistake I looked elsewhere\u00a0and realized there were four Muppets on the board: FOZZIE, GONZO, ANIMAL and BEAKER. I don’t love the Muppets quite as much as the E Street Band, but there’s not a lot in it; ANIMAL would be a great addition to it, actually.<\/p>\n
I was surprised to see that was the blue group, given that it was quite an easy one, so I was confident I’d now be able to solve them all. Sounding out the remaining words gave me yellow, STARTING WITH THE SAME SOUND, SPELLED DIFFERENTLY.<\/p>\n
Next, I spotted that FISHBOWL, SPOTLIGHT, MICROSCOPE and HOT SEAT all seemed to go together as ‘being the focus of something’. They were \u2014 the actual answer was METAPHORS FOR PUBLIC SCRUTINY \u2014 but I didn’t guess it yet, because I wanted to solve the E Street Band one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, I looked again at the other four words that must go together, namely MAFIA, E STREET BAND, VIDEO GAME and COMPANY and realized that VIDEO GAMES also often have a boss (as in ‘boss fight’), so guessed that and got purple. And now I’m going to go listen to\u00a0The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle<\/em>\u00a0for the 1 billionth time!<\/p>\n

What is NYT Connections?<\/h3>\n
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made 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 a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.<\/p>\n
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.<\/p>\n
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.<\/p>\n
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.<\/p>\n
