My rating: EasyMy score: Perfect
I didn’t quite manage the reverse rainbow in today’s Connections, but that was only because I could decide which was easiest out of BRING ABOUT (yellow) and THINGS THAT ARE OFTEN SCENTED (green). I’m not beating myself up about that, because I’m mainly just pleased that I solved the purple and blue groups first, which is now what I’m trying to do each time.
Admittedly, that’s a lot easier when all four puzzles are relatively simple as they are today. If you’re not a gamer then purple might cause you some trouble – but I am, so I knew right away that CIVILIZATION, HALO, MADDEN and METROID went together. Blue was fairly obvious for anyone, with THINGS THAT MIGHT STING bringing in INSULT, JELLYFISH, NETTLE and WASP. All rather straightforward, really.

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.
