Connections can play tricks on the brain and the one thing I always have to be careful of is not to fall into obvious quartets, because they are often traps. The thing is, though, that sometimes those obvious quartets you think are traps? Well, today they are real groups.
This mind game appeared twice today: once with the blue group of HOMOPHONE LETTERS and also with the LETTER ANAGRAMS, which seemed so obvious that I left it alone.
Meanwhile, THINGS SEEN IN A YARD is a recurring category and well, I got the purple group because they made more sense together instead of me guessing DUST was the connection.

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.
