Seeing tiles for FRIENDS, SCRUBS and COMMUNITY in the grid I immediately thought of the classic sitcoms.
Getting a fourth was hard, though — at first I thought ROCKS may have been a spin-off from 30 Rock that I had never heard of, but instead I took a gamble on WINGS. This airplane-based comedy never made it to the UK, but I have some vague memory of it featuring various characters from Cheers.
After this triumph the rest of the board was rather elementary — not that I spotted STARTING WITH INSULTS. Kudos if you saw those.

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.
