- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 mistake
My mistake was in putting COMING in place of RASH in what became a collection of words meaning INFLUX.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to mix up words from the yellow and green groups, as they seem very similar.
But let’s not concentrate on that; before my yellow-green confusion came a color triumph. I saw CYA first and initially thought that we might be looking for printer ink colors, but the reality was a little more straightforward. Congrats if you joined the purple-first club too. Let’s all tell random strangers how clever we are.

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.
