My detours today included ways to get in a door (KEYS, PASSWORD, AXE), terms of endearment (BABE, ANGEL), and what cost me a mistake, ways to protect something (PASSWORD, BRAND, SECRET, KEYS).
Fortunately, these routes didn’t take me too far off course and I even managed to get a purple first place finish.
KEYS, SKINS and AX I knew were musical slang for piano, drums and guitar, but BONE was new; I was expecting a percussion instrument before I Googled it and discovered it was short for trombone.

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.
