The answers to today's Connections, game #1022, are…
- YELLOW: IMAGES SEEN ON THE STREET GRAFFITI, MURAL, POSTER, STENCIL
- GREEN: RETRO DANCE CRAZES HUSTLE, MASHED POTATO, ROBOT, TWIST
- BLUE: SILENT "p" CORPS, COUP, PSYCHO, RECEIPT
- PURPLE: ___ MARK BEAUTY, CHECK, QUESTION, STRETCH
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This was a very rare game for me in that I saw all the groups at once.
That said, I did have a small question mark over the dance crazes — I knew HUSTLE, MASHED POTATO and TWIST of course, but I thought ROBOT might be a trick as that seemed to belong in the 21st century, whereas the others were popular back in the 1960 and 1970s. The PSYCHO sounded like a possibility.
Instead, I put that to one side and submitted the two groups I was certain of. I was convinced that one of them would be the purple group, but alas I picked SILENT “p” over ____ MARK. It feels like a missed opportunity to bag another “purple first”.

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.
