Is it just me or are the difficulty levels in Connections all over the place? There are days on which the easiest yellow group is harder than the supposedly hardest purple group today. This really was a simple one: yellow (HEARTWARMING) and green (SNEAKING SUSPICION) are merely synonyms, blue (LEGAL SESSION) is an obvious connection and though purple is a more complex ‘Blank something’ type, it was not a tricky one particularly. What’s more, you won’t even have needed to solve it if you got the other three.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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.
