A little bit of knowledge is a very dangerous thing in Connections, as is persisting with a group you are guessing at.
This was the case for me today with MEMBER OF A DETROIT SPORTS TEAM. I knew RED WING and PISTON were both affiliated with the Motor City, but I was also convinced LIGHTNING was a Detroit franchise and toggled back and forth dropping TIGER and then LION before finally getting it right.
By then there was no margin for error, but fortunately some more considered guesswork led me to the link between FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER and a HARDWARE STORE and I got THEY HAVE BOLTS.

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.
