This was a rare day where I landed on the Purple group first. Its easy to 
overlook homophones, but I sometimes get these groups by reading the grid out 
loud in the dullest voice I can muster  obviously not something you can do if 
youre having a sneaky game of Connections in the office. Unless, of course, 
you want to confuse your co-workers. 

It also helps if youre not great at spelling and thought whine was spelt WINE 
and wail was spelt WHALE. Thats not me of course, my spelling and grammar is 
exceptional. Thats why, a-hem, I got TYPES OF SENTENCES last  I was saving 
it, one in the bank. Or was I? (QUESTION) Hell no! (EXCLAMATION) Yesterday's

GORILLA, HAMMER, LADDER 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.
