I immediately thought that BIG and AIRPLANE must be about the films but I hesitated for two reasons firstly, after including TWINS I couldnt see a fourth comedy movie, and secondly because the film Airplane! features an exclamation mark. I guess I picked the wrong week to give up making wild Connections guesses.

The purple group was also within reach after I thought it odd that two tiles began L-I-S-T ; kudos to you if you managed to spot the four ANAGRAMS. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, May 25, game #1079) YELLOW: COMMON PROMO ITEMS CAP, PIN, SHIRT, STICKER GREEN: TINY BIT JOT, SCRAP,

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.
