No major concerns today; Connections seems to have calmed down a little after last week’s rather difficult puzzles. Blue is a fun one. I always like homophones, and today’s was animal-based, with BARE/BEAR, DEAR/DEER, MOUSSE/MOOSE and (presumably) NEW/GNU. It took me a while to work out what that last one was, honestly.
I’m not sure I would have solved purple if it wasn’t by default, but green and yellow were both straightforward, so I didn’t need to worry about the final one anyway.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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.
