I’ll state right away that I’m a BIG fan of the blue group in today’s Connections. This is exactly the kind of challenge I’m looking for – it requires lateral thinking once again, plus a bit of general knowledge, and is deeply satisfying to solve. We’ve seen a few of these before, and hopefully will see many more.
It was also a pivotal solve for me, because I was completely stumped by the final two groups, having completed the two easier ones (yellow and green) without any issues. With hindsight, I should have spotted the ‘hedge’ connection in the purple group, but for some reason it escaped my mind; the term HEDGE MAZE is not really a common one, so maybe that was I didn’t think to try it. Anyway, it didn’t matter in the end, because after a long period looking I realized that FRIEND, SCRUB, WEED and CHEER could all have an S added to the end to make four popular TV shows and completed the puzzle.

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.
