Thanks.

Realizing this trick did make this game easier, but I still got caught out trying to put my groups of four together.

STARTING WITH INCANTATIONS and STARTING WITH ANIMAL GROUP NAMES I got easily enough; MURDER MYSTERY was the giveaway for the latter. However, I fell to pieces after that and was lucky to escape with a victory.

At first, my remaining eight tiles conjured up an alternative phonetic alphabet that grouped DELTA AIRLINES, ECHO PARK, MIRROR SELFIE, and QUOTE UNQUOTE; after getting a lucky one away, I finally grasped STARTING WITH SYNONYMS FOR REPEAT.

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.
