A work colleague recently mentioned that they really disliked the phrase no WORRIES, so I made an effort to stop saying it.

I found it incredibly hard and realized that I say it virtually every time someone says thank you. I struggled to find a decent alternative my pleasure makes it sound too much like I enjoyed whatever it was a bit too much, no sweat made it appear as if it was too easy, and not a problem sounds like it was a problem. I wrestled over it for a few days then decided it wasnt worth worrying about.

Anyway back to the puzzle. This was my ideal type of Connections, just about tricky enough to be satisfying, but not too tricky that it became time consuming.

I was delighted to get the purple group ENDING WITH FISH but it came after my one mistake of the round, when I panicked after seeing no links in the eight words I had left at that point.

Then I remembered to do what we should always do when the words seem too random and look at the end of each one. Sweet joy and relief followed.

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.
