- YELLOW: FULL TURN CIRCUIT, TOWER, ORBIT, REVOLUTION
- GREEN: CIRCULAR THINGS FULL MOON, LP, PIZZA PIE, STUDENT
- BLUE: KAFKA WORKS, WITH “LE” CASTLE, JUDGMENT, METAMORPHOSIS, TRIAL

- My rating: Hard
- My rating: 2 errors
Thinking there was a group about change today, I connected REVOLUTION, METAMORPHOSIS, JUDGMENT and SEA CHANGE.
Then, after that mistake, I moved to ORBIT instead of PUPIL for what became CIRCULAR THINGS. This was after I decided that LP and PIZZA PIE belonged together – indeed, in my hometown of Brighton, England, there is a popular restaurant called Vinyl and Pizza that brings these two worlds together.
COMPLETE TURN seemed like a logical continuation, but that’s where the 360 theme ended.
As happy as I am to have solved the purple group, it was by pure chance. I didn’t see START WITH HOMOPHONE LETTERS, but I saw four two-word tiles.

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.
