The New York Times is back with another new daily word game, Connections! This is heavily inspired by “The Wall” from the BBC quiz show Only Connect. You must sort the sixteen given words into thematically appropriate groups of four–and you only have a few opportunities for error! I don’t know if I’ll be solving this every day but I’m giving it a shot for now at least. We’ll see how it goes. Let me know how you like it!

i got this one because i got stuck and just sent the 3 letter words
and then i thought the record labels were airlines but i still won the game
Annoying that 2 categories were zodiac. It’s a meh category in the first place so using it twice is just bleh.
I didn't know the record labels! After the yellow one, I picked the 3 letter beginning zodiac signs, not knowing what they specifically are, then from that category name realized the others are zodiac signs😄
I liked the matching pairs. Music labels and notation. Zodiac symbols and the names. Didn't see it till i was finished.
They are actually the same Zodiac constellations, or rather their Latin and common names. Cancer=crab, Taurus=bull, Libra=scales, Gemini=twins. Strange one
Remo needs to check his horoscope! 🙂
Astrology is such a load of bull , but I do know I'm a Gemini !

I got them all, but like Chris got purple last without understanding the category. I thought they were foreign airport codes. 😐
I thought that you had this easily, because you got the Record Labels right off the bat. I actually saw the purple category second, but messed up on the naming of the bllue category, thinking that these were Airlines. I didn't know "Virgin" or "Island," as Labels.
Anyone else absolutely ROCKED by Chris staring with "what have we today" instead of "what do we have today"???😅
