The first was linking FLY, CAST, ANGLE, and TROLL as all being terms
connected with fishing and the other was a group about being mean to someone that would include RAG, TROLL and CUFF. Thankfully I didnt have enough confidence to follow through on either idea.

Instead PANT FEATURES seemed an obvious selection, although I did waiver over CUFF and from here the other groups fell neatly into place as they often do when you complete this game in difficulty order.

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.
