Connections is ultimately a game of knowledge and I am just going to have to accept that I do not have enough of that. Or maybe not enough of the type
that the NYT values. It's something of an anomaly, because I solve the likes of Wordle, Quordle and Strands every day (or almost every day in the case of the latter two), and I've generally been quite adept at quizzes. But this
this is ridiculous. It's my eighth failure in 15 games and my fourth in a
row, which is unprecedented for me and possibly for the entire world. I might well be the biggest loser anywhere right now.

The argument against that and the thing I'm clinging on to is that you
could argue that some of this knowledge is arcane, unnecessary and really quite random. For instance, green today, 'Parts of the ear': I knew CANAL and DRUM, but ANVIL and HAMMER nope. And why should I know that? Or DRIVER being something you'd find in a TOOLBOX or on a MOVIE SET? Again, no idea.

So OK, that's what I'll stick with for now. The problem is the NYT's Connections puzzle setter, not me. Let's go with that.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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.
