- PURPLE: “___ MAN” SONGS FROM THE 70’S IRON, MALE, PIANO, ROCKET
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
As a former music journalist and vinyl collector, the purple group was perfect for me, especially since PIANO (Man) and ROCKET (Man) are two of my favorite songs of all time, not so much MACHO (Man) and IRON (Man).
That said, it’s exciting to get a shiny new purple badge.
Fortunately, the other groups were equally easy today, although I was a little hesitant to connect LOBBY and RECEPTION when I got to the final eight.

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.
