Sometimes a Connections group is so simple you can't believe that it could possibly be the answer. Take green today ELEMENTS OF WRITING. I spotted LETTER, PHRASE, SENTENCE and WORD very early on, but hovered my finger over the submit button because it seemed too easy. In the end I decided to try it anyway I had all four guesses left, after all and was more surprised when they proved to be correct than if they had been wrong. Yellow was about as easy and blue only slightly more so, meaning I didn't need to worry about the more difficult blank-format purple group.

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.
