All the “uzzle” words were confused today and in a moment of temporary blindness I made a mistake by including MUZZLE instead of NUZZLE in what became the green CUDDLE group.
IKEA FURNITURE is the tile that immediately caught my eye. After spending many hours putting together Swedish Giants beds, shelves and tables, I knew how much like a puzzle they are.
I also learned the hard way that you have to be methodical and count all those wooden dowels, then try to decode the visual instructions before you start working with the Allen wrench. I think this approach helped me with Connections: when I rush, I fail, when I slow down, everything is fine. That said, my Billy bookcase fell apart after about six days.

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.
