This was one of those Connections games where, aside from the easiest/yellow group, I had no idea what I was doing, but I still managed to complete it without making a mistake.
I thought PRESENT AS AD was about sending something to someone via UPS, so I initially used SIGN instead of PRONUNCIATE, but I changed it after a vague thought that it had something to do with business meetings.
My vagueness continued with the WORDS AFTER “I,” which I improvised thinking they had something to do with a sci-fi show I had no idea about. Tomorrow I will repay this good fortune, I am sure.

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.
