Sometimes when you play Connections, you may have a good idea of what each category is, but you still make mistakes before getting all four right.
Other times, like today in my case, you can have no idea what the commonalities are, but still, somehow, through hunches and random selections, you construct the four groups without a single mistake.
This stroke of luck was very lucky for me today as I had no idea that the tokens were also a GREEK MYTH FIGURE and cultural differences made various groups a challenge; for example, there is no BOARDWALK in the British version of Monopoly and we have egg boxes instead of a CARDBOARD.

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 elements 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.
