Is it just me or are the difficulty levels in Connections all over the place? There are days when the easier yellow group is harder than the supposedly harder purple group today. This really was simple: yellow (HEATER) and green (SUSPICIOUS) are mere synonyms, blue (LEGAL SESSION) is an obvious connection, and although purple is a more complex type of 'something blank', it wasn't particularly complicated. . What's more, you won't even have needed to solve it if you have the other three.

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.
