I’m sure I wasn’t the only player who started today’s game with CRUNCH, PLANK, PUSH-UP, and CALF RAISE, but this collection of core exercises wasn’t the only red herring lurking in today’s game.
I was also briefly sidetracked by candy brands and birds, before taking the plunge with TYPES OF BRAS and PARTS OF A PIRATE SHIP.
With eight tiles left, I gambled on the single words being one group and the two-word tiles being another, rather than taking the time to look at the fairly obvious threads.

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.
