This was another super simple Connections game; perhaps the NYT felt it had been too hard on us recently? I'm not complaining, because there is a threshold that, when crossed, turns this game from a pleasant challenge into something that is not at all fun, please let it go away.
Today's is nothing like that. 'Raspy', the easiest yellow group, stood out straight away, and I spotted the blue soon after. The green, the 'fingers' group, was another easy one and I'm pretty sure I would have solved the purple if I had to. I'm betting tomorrow's is a lot harder though.

What is 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 have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
The plus side is that you don't technically need to solve the last one, as you'll be able to answer it by process of elimination. Plus, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a bit of wiggle room.
However, it is a bit more complex than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trick you with tricks. For example, beware of homophones and other wordplay that could disguise the answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
