spotted the green group containing CHECK, CROSS, MARK, and TICK immediately. Like many, I am sure, I add things to my to-do lists that Ive already done just so I can have the pleasure of checking them off. I think I need help!

Meanwhile, the most un-nerving thing about the yellow group is that I did not see it sooner.

The same could be said for HOMOPHONES OF POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES I spent far too long thinking HUR was connected to the classic film Ben Hur while I only got WHAT "T" MIGHT STAND FOR because the four words began with that letter; Googling afterwards I discovered that the TESLA in this context was a unit of measurement and nothing to do with Elon Musk's cars.

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.
