I managed to convince myself that there was a group containing things you throw, so I tried linking DICE, QUARTERS, CARDS and, desperate for a fourth token, CUBE.
With this error removed, I managed to think a little more logically, seeing PROVIDE A PLACE TO STAY and TYPES OF GOLF CLUBS fairly quickly.
There were eight tiles left CUT INTO PIECES was so obvious that I didn’t even try to see the link between CARD, FOAM, HOLE and RAIL. Congratulations if you saw it early.

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.
