- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
The phonetic alphabet featuring HOTEL, FOXTROT and crucially Yankee — not YANKEES — was today’s trap/joke and were it not for the easy to spot DANCE STYLES I may well have fallen for it.
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is also the name of a great album by Wilco, but I digress…
I got the blue group next, thinking that all four words described seemed like labels you’d put on a report rather than CONTENT SORTING OPTIONS ONLINE, which considering I do quite a lot of Content Sorting I really should have seen.
The final group I found was IN A MONOPOLY BOX, although I can’t say I have ever thought of the street name cards as being a DEED.

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.
