Today’s
Connections
is
another
fairly
simple
one.
For
starters,
it
doesn’t
require
too
much
specialist
knowledge
–
BUTTON,
KNOB,
SLIDER
and
SWITCH,
for
instance,
are
just
generally
used
words.
And
while
the
WINE
BOTTLE
INFO
group
might
be
easier
for
people
who
drink
wine,
none
of
the
answers
are
remotely
obscure.
The
one
I
didn’t
technically
solve
was
blue
–
which
in
hindsight
was
one
of
the
easiest.
That
group
was
PREFIXES,
with
the
answers
being
PRO,
SUB,
RETRO
and
SUPER
–
all
of
which
really
should
have
occurred
to
me.
But
instead
I
focused
on
the
[blank]
king
group,
having
spotted
BURGER,
LION
and
PROM.
Trouble
was,
I
couldn’t
find
the
fourth
one,
guessing
SUPER
and
PRO
(randomly)
before
finally
going
for
CALIFORNIA
to
complete
the
set.
I
don’t
know
what
a
CALIFORNIA
KING
is,
but
I
solved
it
in
the
end,
so
who
cares…
How
did
you
do
today?

What
is
NYT
Connections?
NYT
Connections
is
one
of
several
increasingly
popular
word
games
made
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
a
little
harder,
blue
often
quite
tough
and
purple
usually
very
difficult.
On
the
plus
side,
you
don’t
technically
need
to
solve
the
final
one,
as
you’ll
be
able
to
answer
that
one
by
a
process
of
elimination.
What’s
more,
you
can
make
up
to
four
mistakes,
which
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room.
It’s
a
little
more
involved
than
something
like
Wordle,
however,
and
there
are
plenty
of
opportunities
for
the
game
to
trip
you
up
with
tricks.
For
instance,
watch
out
for
homophones
and
other
word
games
that
could
disguise
the
answers.
It’s
playable
for
free
via
the
NYT
Games
site
on
desktop
or
mobile.
