I hesitated slightly over THINGS THAT ARE PINK because I’d forgotten that CALAMINE LOTION is pink – it’s the iron oxide in the ingredients apparently – thinking it was just a regular cream color. Thankfully I took the gamble after failing to see any other pink things.
I was pleased to see MICKEY MOUSE among the yellow group. Quite how calling something Mickey Mouse became a put down for a humble achievement I do not know, but it always makes me laugh.
It was also pleasing to get the purple group early again, although as I selected all the tiles STARTING WITH OPTIMISTIC WORDS I struggled to believe it would be this obvious.

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.
