At the time, I was thinking the Russian capital should be in the list because of the MOSCOW Mule but after getting one away I realized that there were
three other PLACES IN COCKTAIL NAMES.

This was all after getting the four movie titles I knew all four were classics but didnt think they were all BEST PICTURE WINNERS/NOMINEES. From
the list I thought FARGO was a winner but it lost out to The English Patient in 1997.

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.
