Today’s purple group seems a lot more approachable than usual and I’m upset with myself for not spending more time on today’s game. Congratulations if you saw the four BODY PARTS SURROUNDED BY TWO LETTERS.
Instead, I rushed to find the four DETECTIVE FILMS; It’s not that I saw the link at the beginning, it’s just that they’re all great movies.
Next, PONZI could only be here for one thing, although I hesitated on the fourth tile, getting caught up in the thought that the SLIP scheme could be something as good as the SLIP flow.
With only eight chips left, CREEP, SLIP, SNEAK and STEAL were impossible to resist.

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.
