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, Quordle hints and answers and Wordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those too. And you might need them for the latter at least, because today's Wordle is so difficult it nearly cost me my 1,045-game streak.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about NYT Connections today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.
