- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
This might be the easiest Connections puzzle in weeks – to the extent that I solved the blue and purple groups first, in about two minutes flat.
I got blue first, with the word SCRATCHY immediately standing out due to my love of The Simpsons (classic era, obviously; we're talking seasons 3-9, no more). As soon as I spotted that SCRATCH and ROCKY were also there that connection became clear, and similarly AMUSEMENT and NATIONAL instantly led me to the usually difficult purple group, ___PARK. Yellow and green were slightly harder, in my experience, but only slightly; this was not a Connections game to fret over.

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.
