Connections can play tricks on the brain and the one thing I always have to
be wary of is not to fall for obvious quartets because they are often traps. However, the thing is sometimes those obvious quartets that you think are traps? Well, today they are actual groups.

This mind game appeared twice today once with the blue group of LETTER HOMOPHONES and also with the LETTER ANAGRAMS, which seemed so obvious I left it alone.

Meanwhile THINGS SEEN IN A YARD is a recurring category and well, the purple group I got because they made more sense together rather than me guessing
that DUST was the connection. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, December 10, game #913) YELLOW: "MY GOODNESS!" DEAR, GRACIOUS, HEAVENS, MERCY GREEN: IMITATION COPY, DUMMY, DUPE, FAKE BLUE: CONFECTION CANDY, LOLLY, SUCKER, SWEET PURPLE: WHAT "Y" MIGHT MEAN WHY, YEAR, YELLOW, YES 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.
