My mistake came near the end, when I tricked myself into thinking that we
were collecting something to do with chess, rather than something to do with CHECKERS TERMS so I had BISHOP instead of JUMP.

CHECKERS stirs happy memories for me, as it is a game I used to play with my grandfather, and one in which he would never let me win; Id consider it victory just to get a single KING. It was then, I think, when I first decided that in every loss there is still a small victory somewhere, you just need to find it.

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.
