Hard My score: 3 mistakes 

I loved todays game. Even though it nearly caught me out, the categories were 
fun  anything that makes me think about Pixar movies is a good thing. 

First up, I really labored over THINGS WORN ON LAPELS, largely due to my 
ignorance of what a LAVALIER is (its one of those small attachable 
microphones that are now commonplace on TV and YouTube) and stupidly guessed 
SCARF RING before taking a chance. 

Next, it took me two wrong attempts before I finally got all four COCKTAILS. 
Ive never heard of a Greyhound, so I tried BOLT CUTTER (in my head I was 
imagining a brutal combination of vodka and ouzo) and RACECAR. 

Thankfully, I didnt try GRUMPY OLD MAN before I got it right  although that 
would be an excellent name for a cocktail. Yesterday's NYT Connections

CROWN, ENAMEL, PULP, ROOT PURPLE: WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE TWO LETTERS ANY, 
ARTY, DECAY, ESSAY 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.
