If yesterday was Easy Street then today was closer to the Highway to Hell.
At least that’s what I thought as I labored over the final eight words. I could only see two groups of two – BUG and RUFFLE plus BRAKES and GAS – so it took a gamble and a mistake before I finally made it home.
It wasn’t until later as I puzzled over IRON that I remembered Pumping Iron, the great bodybuilding documentary about the 1975 winner of Mr Olympia, aka Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What is NYT Connections?
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.
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.
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.
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
