This was another super-simple game of Connections; maybe the NYT felt like it had been too tough on us recently? I'm not complaining, because there is a threshold that when crossed turns this game from pleasantly challenging into this-is-no-fun-at-all-please-make-it-go-away.
Today's is nothing like that. 'Raspy', the easiest yellow group, stood out right away, and I spotted blue soon afterwards. Green, the 'fingers' group, was another easy one and I'm pretty sure I would have solved purple if I'd have needed to. I bet tomorrow's is a lot harder, though.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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.
