YELLOW: FOREMOST CHIEF, PREMIER, PRINCIPAL, SUPREME GREEN: SPIKY THINGS CACTUS, HEDGEHOG, MACE, PINEAPPLE BLUE: OVERLY SENTIMENTAL WORK CHEESE, CORN, MUSH, PAP PURPLE: THINGS THAT ARE CAPPED BOTTLE, GRADUATE, MUSHROOM, SALARY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect I'm a big fan of two of today's Connections groups. I love green, SPIKY THINGS, partly because HEDGEHOGs are just great, right? But also because I like the idea of a hedgehog being in a group with a MACE, a CACTUS and a PINEAPPLE.
It amuses me for some reason. Meanwhile, purple – which I didn't solve except by default – is a clever one, challenging players to work out that these are all THINGS THAT ARE CAPPED. I'm glad that I didn't need to work that one out myself.

YELLOW: RESIDE DWELL, INHABIT, LIVE, STAY GREEN: DECREASE DECLINE, DROP, DWINDLE, EBB BLUE: DOOFUS CLOWN, DWEEB, SAP, TURKEY PURPLE: MEMBER OF A SEPTET DWARF, SEA, SIN, WONDER 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..
