I look at the COMPASS, ENVELOPE, MUSIC NOTES, and SPEECH BUBBLE icons dozens of times a day.
However, it still took me until there were only eight tiles left to realize that they belonged in a group together like ICONS ON AN IPHONE (Safari, Mail, Music and Messages), a difficult group for anyone not familiar with iPhones.
Purple group aside, this was an easy round of Connections with not much crossover between the groups. In fact, you could say it lacked BROAD.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created 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 is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
