I got the Yellow group before that though! What to play after Connections? The obvious answer to this question is Wordle , but, if you've already solved that today, then The New York Times does offer other games. When it comes to word-based games, The NYTimes has the Mini Crossword , Spelling Bee , Letter Boxed and Strands , which is still in its beta phase. If you fancy a break from words, then you can also try Tiles - a motif matching game - or Sudoku.

Spelling doesn't count in Semantle, instead you have to pay attention to the numerical value your guesses have to chart your path to the answer. If you'd prefer to keep to the Connections format, however, then it's worth visiting Puzzgrid .
Here you'll find hundreds of Connections-style puzzles, the twist, however, is that you only have three minutes to solve them. (You can also just watch Only Connect on BBC iPlayer..
