rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes I made three stupid mistakes after getting the yellow group pretty quickly.

First, I was pretty sure I was looking for SAINT CITIES but instead of MONICA I submitted JOHNS. This will teach me to add tiles rashly as the St Johns I was thinking of is a district of London and not a city.

With just eight tiles left I still managed to make two more errors first by thinking RANDO and WONK were slang for types of relationships (so I added WEEKEND and DISTANCE). Then, with no evidence other than DIVISION being part of an '80s band name, I clicked on WEEKEND, JOHNS and REALM thinking they
were too.

Fortunately through sheer chance this gave me a one away and I finally saw that there were four LONG THINGS. I hope it wasnt as hard for you.

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.
