Nursery rhyme for children I am Little Teapot he helped me get two people from today’s yellow group and that was enough to sign the contract.
My struggles came in the group that became ARISE when I managed to combine all four, including AIR and RAIN, before finally narrowing it down.
STACKS is a confusing element of LIBRARY SECTION, a term I hadn’t heard before – but the last time I visited a library was in 2010, so it’s probably my ignorance rather than some concealed phrase.

What are NYT calls?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. The task is to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is straightforward, yellow is slightly more hard, blue is often quite hard, and purple is usually very hard.
The advantage is that you technically don’t have to solve the last one because you will be able to answer it by process of elimination. What’s more, you can make as many as four mistakes, which gives you some slack.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to throw you off balance with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other wordplay that can concealed answers.
You can play it for free via NYT Gaming Site on your desktop computer or mobile phone.
