- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
Not being familiar with KOOL-AID MAN’s work put me at a disadvantage today and was the reason for my only mistake.
While I knew CLIFFORD of Big Red Dog, DEADPOOL and MR. KRABS preferred the color red. I was less sure about the fourth, so I selected HUMPTY DUMPTY in the belief that he preferred a thick red belt on his egg belly. Fortunately, I corrected my mistake at the next opportunity.
I’m punishing myself for not having seen COMPOUND WORDS THAT RHYME. I briefly thought they might all be album titles by the yellow PROG BANDS, but I went with CLASSIC WEDDING GIFTS.

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.
