BLUE: KINDS OF TRUCKS DUMP, FIRE, FOOD, TOW PURPLE: HETERONYMS BOW, ROW, SOW, WIND My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake My mistake was in thinking BASE,
LOW, VILE and DUMP were descriptions of undesirable places.

After getting one away I swapped DUMP for MEAN and got through the rest of
the game.

Congratulations if you saw the HETERONYMS, which Im sure you know are words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently to celebrate you could desert a dessert in a desert.

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.
