Crossword Genius

Connects it wrongly at two points (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ties

'connects' is the definition.
(tying is a kind of connecting)

'it wrongly at two points' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'two points' becomes 'es' (two compass points).
'it' is an anagram of 'ti'.
'ti'+'es'='TIES'

(Other definitions for ties that I've seen before include "allegiances" , "Links" , "obligations" , "Drawn games" , "Items of neckwear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
