Today's lesson from NYT? Don't ignore what's in FRONT of your FACE. 

I got BLUE first today, but it cost me a mistake. My first thought whenever I 
see the word APPLE is the popular purveyor of laptops and phones. However, 
seeing it alongside LIME, I initially wondered if I should be considering 
pies  there's also FACE Pie, but where is the pesky fourth word? Intuit 
doesn't fit with pies but they are the company behind QuickBooks, so maybe 
this is a tech answer after all  sometimes the obvious answer is the correct 
one. 

It took me three attempts to get GREEN  mainly overthinking that I was 
looking for words connected to boxes or packaging. From here I used my 
natural GIFT for random guesswork to land YELLOW and shamefully clicked on 
the remaining four tiles without knowing what the theme was  despite 
RHINEstone Cowboy being one of my favorite songs. Not my finest 15 minutes. 

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT

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.
