Good morning! Let's play Connections, the NYT's clever word game that challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so read on if you need clues.
What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I've also got daily Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those too, while Marc's Wordle today page covers the original viral word game.

For the first time in ages I got today’s groups in order of difficulty. Although when I say “got”, none of us get the last group, do we? That happens by default after we switch off the brain and just click on the remaining four words – occasionally kidding ourselves with an “of course!” as if really we knew what the connection was before we clicked on submit.
Today’s Purple group was a great one – linking four different types of RAYS. Not that all AQUARIUMs have RAYS. A fact I know from my many vacations ruined by European weather, where a rainy day would mean a trip to the local indoor attractions, which usually meant queuing up to look at some crabs in a bucket. Happy days.
