Those
of
you
who
play
Connections
on
a
laptop
or
PC
may
have
had
an
advantage
over
people
playing
on
their
phones
today,
because
you’ll
have
had
a
big
hint
for
the
green
group.
That
connection
is
FILE
MENU
OPTIONS,
and
the
fact
that
I
was
on
my
laptop
to
play
and
then
write
this
column
meant
they
were
staring
me
in
the
face.
OK,
not
literally
–
they
were
hidden
within
the
menu
–
but
they
were
certainly
fresh
in
my
mind.
By
that
point
I’d
already
solved
blue,
too,
with
LOTTERY
and
RAFFLE
clearly
going
together
and
the
other
two
not
too
hard
to
find
(I
did
struggle
a
little
with
DRAWING).
Two
down,
one
to
go
–
and
inevitably
I
found
yellow
rather
than
purple,
although
neither
was
actually
too
bad
today.
How
did
you
do
today?
Send
me
an
email
and
let
me
know.

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.
