- PURPLE: “THE ____ MAN” MOVIE ELEPHANT, INVISIBLE, OMEGA, RUN
- My assessment: Hard
- My score: 3 errors
I was doing well until I hit a wall with my last eight tiles.
After that, it took me four guesses before I got HOSE IN THE HEAD, as I was convinced I was looking for something to do with tropical island life or things you need for beach parties. I got there eventually.
I should have known it was going to be a rough day after LANDFORMS BY WATER was revealed as a pure yellow color; ISTHMUS seemed rather unclear. Then I thought I was home and dry after making the purple group of THE ____ MAN MOVIES think The Omega Man would have caught some people out.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different degree of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough, and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the last one, as you’ll be able to answer it by a process of elimination. Also, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a bit more involved than something like Wordle, though, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to let you beat yourself up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that can hide the answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
