HERTZ PURPLE: SNACK BRANDS PLUS STARTING LETTER FRITZ, PLAYS, TRUFFLES, YUTZ My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake All the TZ tiles were very tempting to stick into a group together, but the fact that HERTZ appears alongside some other CAR RENTAL COMPANIES (BUDGET, DOLLAR, AVIS) put me off that connection.

With that out of the way I remembered that ERSATZ was a term a critic friend of mine used to use when he really wanted to call a band or piece of music phoney and derivative, and that definition seemed to fit with DUMMY, MOCK and FAUX.

With just eight tiles left I could not really see much in the way of links, beyond a couple of good names for a small dog, but gambled on four words that sounded like they were about fooling around.

It took me a couple of goes as I had PLAYS instead of FUTZ, but I eventually connected PLAY AROUND (WITH).

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.
