What an absolute mess. You know how sometimes you're just not 'on' it? Well, that was me today. My brain was fuzzy, the result of a very poor night's sleep, and I simply could not get my head round these words. The result: a second loss in a row for me, and deservedly so.

It's not monumentally difficult tricky, sure, but it still should have been solvable, particularly once I got the 'Bond movie titles' group, supposedly the hardest, on my first guess. I followed up with yellow, 'Remote control buttons', but somehow couldn't assemble one more group from the remaining eight options. I have no excuse or explanations, I was simply off my game for a second day in succession.

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.
