In Saturday’s Connections game the tiles 'let', 'sleeping', 'dogs' and 'lie' became the group “let sleeping dogs lie” so ONE, BATTLE, AFTER, ANOTHER could very well have been a group in honor of the brilliant award-winning movie of the same name, rather than a red herring.
I decided not to risk it and instead linked BATTLE with MATCH, CLASH, and CONTEST and pressed submit, happy that I had not fallen for this most obvious of traps.
With eight tiles left I was uncertain about any connection, so took a gamble with EITHER and NEITHER — and then, thinking that they sounded like vague selections, picked ANOTHER and ONE. And just like that I’d completed a game in difficulty order for the second day in a row.

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.
