This was a very strange game for me because I saw all the groups at once.
That said, I had a bit of a question mark about dance fads – I knew about HUSTLE, MASHED POTATOES and TWIST, of course, but I thought ROBOT might be a gimmick, as it seemed like it belonged in the 21st century, while the others were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. PSYCHO sounded like a possibility.
Instead, I put that aside and sent the two groups I was sure of. I was convinced that one of them would be the purple group, but unfortunately I chose the SILENT “p” instead of ____ MARK. Seems like a missed opportunity to get another “purple first.”

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.
