The blue PLAGIARIZE group came together quickly for me today, before I hit a wall and ran into trouble.
I made my two mistakes in trying to collect what became the green BEDDING group, getting “one” both times before abandoning it. If I’d known what a farce was, it would have been a lot easier, but instead I tried NEWSPAPER and CARDBOARD BOX, thinking the group was more about covering up than sleeping.
My triumph was getting BATMAN’S “BAT” THINGS. It was one of those purple groups that didn’t make me feel smarter, but it did give me the comfort that all my years watching the adventures of batman They were not in vain.

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.
