good mistakes today. 'Good', as in I was on the right track and the errors helped me hone in on the correct quartet.

The first was picking JANGLE instead of EXCITED. I correctly thought the
group was about anxiety and picked JANGLE because that's how I feel when Im nervous or on edge.

Then, after successfully spotting PARTS OF AN AIRPORT, I decided to collect the math words hidden in some tiles and picked ORANGE, because of range, over DEPLANE. Meanwhile, how I completely overlooked SPHERICAL THINGS is
uncertain. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, July 22, 2026,

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.
