All the “uzzle” words were confusing today and in a moment of temporary blindness I missed a mistake by including MUZZLE instead of NUZZLE in what became the green group CUDDLE.
IKEA FURNITURE was the tile that immediately caught my attention. After spending many hours putting together beds, shelves and tables from the Swedish giants, I knew how similar they are to a puzzle.
I also learned the hard way that you have to be methodical and count all those wooden pegs and then try to decode the visual instructions before you start working with the Allen wrench. I think one approach that has helped me with Connections: when I rush, I fail, when I slow down, I do well. That being said, my Billy bookshelf collapsed after about six days.

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.
