A game of two halves today. After I got the first two groups fairly quickly I hit a roadblock and saw no connection between the eight remaining words (Ill count COAT RACK as one word).

Completely stuck, I pressed shuffle to see if it would give me any clues and selected a few random groups of four.

It was thinking visually that changed things, as I imagined each item. I
would not have been able to tell you the name of the artist but APPLE, BOWLER, CLOUD and PIPE were all things I imagined in a painted form, and indeed there are all items that reoccur in Magrittes surrealist paintings along with umbrellas, candles and doves.

His most famous piece is The Treachery of Images , better known for the
phrase beneath a painting of a pipe which reads Ceci n'est pas une pipe (this is not a pipe). For a moment I felt quite clever, before admitting to myself that it was just a wild guess.

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.
