- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
As a perpetual creator and cross-tender of to-do lists, I immediately saw the green group containing CHECK, CROSS, MARK, and TICK. Like many, I’m sure, I add things I’ve already done to my to-do lists just for the pleasure of checking them off. I think I need help!
Meanwhile, the most disconcerting thing about the yellow group is that I didn’t see it before.
The same could be said for HOMOPHONES OF POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES: I spent too much time thinking HUR was connected to the classic movie. Ben Hur â while I only understood WHAT âTâ COULD MEAN because all four words started with that letter; Later, searching on Google I discovered that the TESLA in this context was a unit of measurement and had nothing to do with Elon Musk’s cars.

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.
