The nursery rhyme of Im a Little Teapot helped me get two of todays yellow group, and that was enough to seal the deal.

My struggles came in the group that became ARISE, as I grasped at getting all four including AIR and RAIN in the mix before I finally narrowed it down.

STACKS was the confusing element of LIBRARY SECTIONS, a term that Id not
heard before but then I did last visit a library in the 2010s, so thats my ignorance rather than it being some obscure phrase.

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.
