LID My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake My error today came because I thought I was being really clever and would get a purple first after connecting BROW, CYA, WHIT, PIN, thinking that they were all colors minus a letter as in brown, cyan, white, and pink.

Crestfallen, I managed to link JOT, SCRAP and SHRED and took a lucky gamble with WHIT.

ATM, LOL, and TIA I knew as TEXTING ABBREVIATIONS, but didnt realize that CYA was an abbreviated way of saying 'See ya' although when I googled it the AI search response was that it meant cover your ass.

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.
