score: 1 mistake 

Every now and then I think that a Connections hard mode would be a good idea. 
I imagine it being made up of 20 tiles instead of 16, with 4 of them not 
being part of the game at all. 

My reasoning is that the game in its current format can be completed by 
knowing just three of the groups. Having an extra four tiles would mean that 
you have to get all four. Let me know what you think. 

Im saying this because with a bit of thought I could have got todays purple 
group, but the way the game works I didnt need to. 

That said, not being the smartest of players, it would probably mean I fail a 
lot more often. Even with todays easy game I managed to make a mistake, and 
included DRIVER instead of NAME for CONTACT INFO. Yesterday's NYT Connections

MOUND, PLATE 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.
