ADJECTIVES PLUS A LETTER HERB, HISS, ITSY, MYA My rating: Easy My score: Perfect This was one of those easy days where I saw the four groups almost straight away.

My only moment of distraction was seeing the tiles for RATTLE and DRUM and momentarily thinking that there was some kind of percussion group or a category about U2 album titles.

The mistake I made was not to pause and figure out what would be the most likely purple group. I really should have guessed ITSY, HISS and the other POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES PLUS A LETTER, because there is a long track record of possessive wordplay being classed as hardest to get.

Homophones of possessive adjectives was a purple group last month, starting with a possessive pronoun was purple in December, and starting with a possessive determiner was purple in September. Oh well, theres always next time.

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.
