Todays Connections reminded me of a toy my daughters had called BOP It!
It was one of those toys that was supposed to teach reaction speed and as an added bonus release some pent-up aggression at the unfairness of the world,
as you were given licence to bop, twist, thump and hit this lump of white plastic.
However, like most toys it also became annoying pretty quickly. I can still hear the cartoon voice in my head now, saying bop it!, bop it! relentlessly for hours on end. Sadly, Bop It! suffered an untimely death after being trod on by, err, me. Sorry girls.
Meanwhile, top prize today if you didnt fall into the PEPPERONI trap, of thinking that it was linked with BRAT, SAUSAGE and BANGER.

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.
