- My score: Perfect
This is the easiest Connections puzzle in several days. Yes, the purple 'words before "Bell"' group might prove challenging, but the other three are all so straightforward that I doubt many people will even need to have solved it.
I started with the green group, 'Things stored by a web browser', with my eye caught instantly by the combination of COOKIES and CACHE. As the editor of a website, it would be rather worrying if I didn't know what they were!
CYCLE, LAP, REVOLUTION and TURN obviously went together. That was the blue group, but it was a lot easier than those usually are. And that left yellow and purple. Inevitably, yellow was the one I found…

What is NYT Connections?
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.
