Today’s purple group looks a lot more gettable than normal and I’m annoyed at myself for not taking more time over today’s game. Congratulations if you saw the four BODY PARTS SURROUNDED BY TWO LETTERS.
Instead, I rushed in spotting the four DETECTIVE MOVIES — not that I saw the link at first, just that they are all great films.
Next, PONZI could only be here for one thing, although I did hesitate over the fourth tile, getting caught up in thinking SLIP scheme could be something as well as SLIP stream.
With just eight tiles left CREEP, SLIP, SNEAK, and STEAL were impossible to resist.

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.
