Some days the Connections grid is a fog of words that make no sense
whatsoever and I can see absolutely no links. Other days, the mists clear slowly to reveal one or two vague commonalities. Very occasionally I see the groups of four immediately and Im in and out in a minute, thinking Im a right clever clogs (but knowing I am far from alone in mastering the rare easy game).

Today was one of those days. Not quite as straightforward as WILLIAM Tell shooting an arrow at an apple on his sons head, but pretty close.

There'll be overtures composed about this puzzle.

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.
