Seems strange today, I can see no connection between the clue and the words, or between the words.

Seems strange today, I can see no connection between the clue and the words, or between the words.

Just like "this and that", all the words had pairs somewhere. 
Smoke and mirrors
Trial and error
Peace and quiet
Give and take

[Sason]

Oh I see. Never got that.

How is smoke and mirrors a pair?

[southendmd]

Oh I see. Never got that.

How is smoke and mirrors a pair?

It's an expression meaning:  something intended to disguise or draw attention away from an often embarrassing or unpleasant issue.  It comes from 18th century magical illusions.

I can't post my World today because the NYT erased it. I went to the page as usual, did the puzzle (4/6). When I clicked to get my results, it offered to keep track of my scores if I signed up for a free NYT account. It also gave the option of signing in -- which I did, because I have a subscription. But when I signed in, it wiped out my answers for today. I don't remember them offhand and don't want to go through the whole thing again. So no image.

I slightly semi-cheated anyway -- looked up words that end in IP.
