NBA MVPS BIRD, CURRY, JAMES, JORDAN BLUE: NON-PALINDROMIC WORDS IN A FAMOUS PALINDROME ABLE, ELBA, SAW, WAS PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF KINDS OF DOGS, FAMILIARLY CIAO, PALM, PEEK, PITT My rating: Hard My score: Perfect I spotted five surnames of basketball legends among todays tiles, but although my slim knowledge went that far I didnt know which of them to eliminate, so decided
to see if I could get another group and eliminate one of the five.

That happened pretty quickly, as I decided WADE was not here because of Dwyane, but because it was a word that describes crossing water or should I say NAVIGATE THROUGH, AS A RIVER.

After this triumph I was confident in picking JAMES, CURRY, BIRD and JORDAN, but I had no idea what connected the eight remaining tiles until I saw that ABLE and ELBA had the same letters and so did WAS and SAW. A good thing, as the purple group soared way over my head.

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.
