It's been a long time since I found a connect puzzle as easy as this one. All four are straightforward collections of things/words, with no more complicated “empty” types, let alone actual puzzles. You just had to solve them one at a time, which made the process easier each time as more solutions were removed.

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 from the New York Times. You have to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow is a bit harder, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.

The upside is that you don't technically have to solve the final puzzle, as you can solve it by process of elimination. Plus, you're allowed to make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little wiggle room.

It is a bit more complicated than Wordle, however, and has many ways to trick you. For example, watch out for homophones and other wordplay that could obscure the answers.

It can be played for free on desktop or mobile via the NYT Games site.
