I made a mistake today and it came from rushing me to put together a quartet before I properly considered all 16 tiles.
When I thought I collected words linked to pressure on an opposing team, I grouped together press, close, push and address.
I gave up this persecution and studied the board a little more carefully immediately to see the need to send a letter and then first freedom of change, something I am surprised to be a purple group.
Oddity of the round for me was a complete overview of the yellow group – something about reflection I really should have seen in front of something else.

What are new connections?
New Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four objects that share something in common, and each group has another level of difficulty: green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you do not have to technically solve the last one, as you can answer one by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of breathing room.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to get up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played free of charge via the new Games website on desktop or mobile.
