WITH SLANG FOR ZERO JACKET, NADAL, SQUATTER, ZIPPER My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes I got caught out early on by a tennis-based group today, guessing SINNER, NADAL, OSAKA and SELES but getting it wrong. OSAKA is also a city as well as a surname, of course, so I put that with LIMA, NICE and PHOENIX and solved yellow.

Looking again, I thought I spotted a palindromic group: EYE, NADAL, SELES and REFER. And I was right sort of, because I got one away. But which one? Well, another look at the board turned up ROTATOR, so I knew what the extra word was, but had no idea which of the original four to drop. I was going to have to solve another group first

I did that by spotting that JAW, SINNER, TEMOR and GREMLIN were all 'horror movies minus an S', but that didn't directly help me solve the palindrome group. So I tried again: NADAL, SELES, ROTATOR and REFER. But got one away again. And then I realized my mistake: NADAL is not a palindrome. What an idiot!

So I went with the other four and finally got green, leaving just the purple to solve by default. And what was that? A very sneaky one: STARTING WITH
SLANG FOR ZERO. Phew! Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Saturday, March 7, game #1000) YELLOW:$1 BUCK, DOLLAR, ONE, SINGLE GREEN:"WHEREFORE ART THOU ROMEO?"

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.
