- BLUE: SUMMER OLYMPIC EVENTS ATHLETICS, EQUESTRIAN, SWIMMING, TRIATHLON
- PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF CAR BRANDS INFINITE, MINNIE, OPAL, OUTIE
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
It’s been a while since I’ve done an old man groan when a Connections group title is revealed, but I did it twice today.
First of all, the four SUMMER OLYMPIC EVENTS are not events, they are categories of events. The marathon would be an event, for example, in the ATHLETICS event category. Secondly, OUTIE is not homophonous with Audi.
Apologies if you disagree, I’m just in a bad mood because I wasted a mistake by thinking that GENE, TIDE, SWIMMING, and INFINITY were all pool types. A trap I jumped headlong into.

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.
