I’m feeling rather smug today, having solved what I consider to be one of the most difficult purple connections in weeks. Once again, the trick was in focusing on the words that appeared to have very little connection to anything – not just the other words here, but literally anything. Here, that was the words EGADS and MONTE, which are uncommon in their own right and which seemed to be properly isolated among the other 14 options. So I played around with the letters a little, and realized that EGADS was an anagram of DEGAS. That led to me YOGA (GOYA), MONTE (MONET) and DIAL (DALI) and I’d solved the hardest group here.
I’d already completed yellow before that – the very simple FOOD-RELATED JUMBLES, with HASH, SALAD, SCRAMBLE and STEW – which meant I needed only one more group. That ended up being PUBLIC STANDING (CHARACTER, IMAGE, NAME, REPUTATION), meaning I solved today’s game with no mistakes – unusually.

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.
