My rating: Hard My score: Perfect Im classifying this game as hard, as there were several cunning traps that almost caught me out.

The rule to not falling into a Connections trap is to not be fooled by groups of three and I very nearly did that with the trio of Shakespeare plays.

I thought the same when I saw the the link between the classic games OTHELLO, BATTLESHIP and OPERATION and was not seeing a fourth, but decided to take the leap with TROUBLE as it definitely sounded like it could be a game; thankfully, I was right.

I have good reason not to know it, though, as in the UK, where I am based, this game with its pop o'matic dice device was known as Frustration. Connections constantly bring up these odd cultural differences.

Kudos if you spotted the Little Women group.

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.
