A fun, if initially baffling, game with some very unusual tiles.
The yellow group was the only one I didn’t know, but I put that down to cultural differences as we are less familiar with a couple of those brands in the UK where I live.
Some of the mosaics I saw right away (BLUE MOON, U2, THE BIG APPLE and PINK FLOYD), but others I only saw after placing a bet (I never heard of THREE DOORS DOWN, but I included it in my list of band names thinking it might be The Doors).
My favorite mosaic was the BACK TO THE FUTURE tile, which gave me a little tingle of untangled happiness when I saw it. Congratulations to everyone who made it through April Fool’s Connections without making a mistake.

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.
