It felt like an easy purple, but maybe telegram caught a few people out
seeing as they are now a fairly pointless form of communication.

Regardless, I was rewarded with my 50th Purple First badge it has taken me a while to reach this milestone, with my haphazard play style instead being to just connect the first group I see, rather than looking for the most likely
to be a purple. I cant imagine being that tactical with Connections.

In truth, this felt like a game where any of the groups could have been
yellow on any other day, although all of the groups did contain things that have largely disappeared.

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.
