You sometimes need a bit of luck in Connections, just as you do in Wordle. Case in point: the way I solved the purple group today. I thought that the connection was 'words that go after foot', with REST, POWDER and BATH all seeming to fit, just about. It wasn't a great connection, but I thought it
was worth a shot. For the fourth I decided that THRONE might work maybe FOOT THRONE was a posh word for a foot rest that I hadn't heard? Stupid, yes, but
I gave it a go and was surprised and delighted to see that it was correct. Well, sort of. The connection was actually WORDS BEFORE ROOM TO MEAN
LAVATORY, amusingly enough. They all count though, eh?

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.
