My first thought when I saw TONGUE was tongue and groove woodworking, rather than ORGAN MEAT – so I tried to put together a woodworking group with DADO, DOVETAIL and BOLT.
After this failure, I saw the connection between TRIPE and HEART and got the green group. I worked in a butcher shop for a short time and one of my most enjoyable jobs was putting all of these items through a grinder to produce a product we called “pet mince.”
My only logic in choosing the purple group was simply thinking that all the words sounded Spanish. The five minutes I spent using DuoLingo ten years ago were not in vain.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little more difficult, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the final question, as you will be able to answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.
However, it’s a bit more complex than something like Wordle, and the game provides plenty of opportunities to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT Games website on computer or mobile.
