I don’t have many POSITIVE FEELINGS about today’s game.
You know how sometimes you don’t include a tile in a group because it feels too “on the nose”? I had this today with HAPPINESS, so realizing the group was all about happiness, instead I picked COOL BEANS, GROOVY and FAR OUT before seeing that these were the kind of things dudes would say to each other in the 1970s.
RETRO EXPRESSIONS OF APPROVAL out of the way I finally claimed the elusive yellow group and then BAD THINGS TO GIVE SOMEONE.

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.
