2 mistakes
Im guilty of reading categories I dont solve really quickly and mentally telling myself yeah, whatever.
So, today, I didnt initially see the words ENDING WITH and was all ready to say how amazing it was that there was an ancient weapon called the CROSSWORD Im imagining it only killed someone once you completed 13 across blows and 13 downward blows.
Anyway, the fact is that I completely missed the words SWORD, MACE, BOW, and LANCE hidden in plain sight, despite almost daily thinking there is some Connections category about Medieval warfare.
My first mistake today came by impulsively guessing that I was collecting the characters of some imaginary Pee-wee Herman-style childrens TV show so I had STAR, RAINBOW, GRIMACE and TIME.
Admittedly, this would be a pretty terrible TV show sales of Grimmace dolls would be very poor. Then, ignoring the fact that there was a similar category on Thursday, I thought BILLBOARD, MENU, HEADER and BANNER were printed items, before one away made me see PARTS OF A WEBSITE.

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.
