NYT Connections Today (Game #1067): The Answers

- GREEN: PRETEXT ARGUMENT, BASIS, CAUSE, REASONS
- BLUE: PHOTO EDITING OPTIONS FOR SMARTPHONE ADJUST, TRIM, FILTERS, MARK UP

- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
Today I made two mistakes that are typical for me: the first was falling into a very obvious trap, the second was cultural ignorance.
I really should have stopped because of the mixture of plural and singular, but I couldn’t resist linking to the coffee-related tiles of BEAN, GRINDER, GROUNDS, and FILTERS.
Next, I completely bypassed GRINDER, because it’s not a sandwich term I’m familiar with, and entered ROLL instead.
My saving grace was that I’m aware enough of American culture to understand today’s purple bunch, including JELLY DONUT, something we in the UK would call a jam donut.

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.
