I was doing great until I hit a wall with my last eight tiles.
Then it took me four guesses before I got SLANG FOR HEAD because I was convinced I was looking for something to do with tropical island life or things you need for beach parties. I finally got there.
I should have known it was going to be a tough day after LANDFORMS BY WATER turned out to be a single yellow; ISTHMUS seemed quite obscure. Then I thought I was home and dry after making the purple group from THE ____ MAN MOVIES think The Omega Man would have surprised some people.

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.
