- BLUE: KINDS OF LIZARDS BASILISK, DRAGON, MONITOR, SKINK
- PURPLE: _____TABLE DINNER, DRAFTING, ROUND, TIMES
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Fail
My first mistake was thinking POST, TIMES, REGISTER, and EXPRESS all referred to newspaper titles but this wasn’t where my game fell apart.
After seeing the KINDS OF LIZARDS and PILLAR I was left with eight tiles. Normally in this scenario I manage to cobble a group together through a process of elimination but today I failed to see two tiles in common, let alone three or four.
Of the two groups I really should have spotted ___TABLE; instead, I got hooked on there being a group about sports or signing up for something.
After a few clueless guesses I crashed out — the first time I’ve crashed out since March. I hope it wasn’t as frustrating for you.

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.
TOPICS Wordle NYT Connections Johnny DeeContributorJohnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs' eye. Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna's addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
