Before I started writing this today I had no idea who or what ELOISE was. Nothing at all about it had ever crossed my cultural path, to the extent that when the answer popped up it wasn't one of those 'Oh, of course' moments, or even an 'Oh, I've vaguely heard of that' situations, but purely one of 'Er, what's that'. I know now that it was a 1950s illustrated book, but I'm completely baffled as to why it's an answer here. It doesn't even appear to
be that famous the entire first page of Google is about a song with that
name or a 2007 movie. I can only imagine that it was a favorite of the NYT puzzle setters. Very strange.

Anyway, that was purple, and the good news for me was that it didn't impact
my game at all, because I was able to solve the three easier groups instead.
I did them in order of difficulty, starting with yellow (GOOD THINGS TO GET
AT WORK) and green (DISREGARD), both of which were very simple, before (inevitably) getting stuck on the final groups. Eventually I put RITZ and GOLDFISH together as KINDS OF CRACKERS, and though I wasn't certain about
CLUB or ANIMAL I had a hunch that they were right a hunch of the kind I didn't get about ELOISE, because it had simply never fired a single one of my neurons at any point in the past. But now it has, so I guess that's a
positive thing.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, 25 November, game #533) YELLOW: ATTAIN EARN, LAND, SCORE, WIN GREEN: LARGE GROUP CROWD, FLOCK, HOST, SEA BLUE: PARTS OF A SHIP ANCHOR, BOW, BRIDGE, DECK PURPLE: ASSOCIATED PRINCIPLES IN CHINESE PHILOSOPHY EXPANSIVE, LIGHT, MASCULINE, YANG What is NYT Connections?

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.
