Connections has been really easy lately, right? Or maybe I've just got better at solving it, 400-odd games in? Or maybe I just got lucky Either way, I solved it in double-fast time, and in almost entirely the 'wrong' order, with purple first. Not that purple was a particularly tough one today; yes, it was a [blank] something answer, but the radio-related words were all pretty obvious, with HAM and PIRATE standing out to me right away. With that out of the way the others fell into place swiftly.

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.
