PIPE and APPLE made a return after featuring in yesterday’s Connections, but today it wasn’t things featured in Magritte paintings we were searching for.
Instead, the answers were BEST FEMALE ROCK GRAMMY WINNERS, of which Fiona Apple is one, and PLUMBING EQUIPMENT – of which pipes play an integral part.
I’m thrilled that I got WAYS TO MODIFY A CAR’S EXTERIOR first, as this is an area that I know completely nothing about and generally glaze over if anyone ever mentions anything to do with cars or roads or zzzzzzz – in fact I’m glazing over typing this.
The biggest surprise today is that Donna SUMMER won a Rock Performance Grammy in 1980 for Hot Stuff, as I associate her with being the queen of disco and saucy dance classics I Feel Love and Love to Love You Baby.
I am ashamed that I seem to know more about car exteriors than I do about Donna Summer.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

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.
