The answers to today's Connections, game #442, are YELLOW: OFFICIAL SANCTIONING APPROVAL, BLESSING, CONSENT, SUPPORT GREEN: TORUS-SHAPED THINGS BAGEL, LIFESAVER, TIRE, WREATH BLUE: BAD GOLF SHOTS HOOK, SHANK, SLICE, WHIFF PURPLE: FOOTWEAR MINUS ER SOUND LOAF, SLIP, SNEAK, WADE My rating: Moderate
My score: Fail

Gah! Yet another failure for me today which makes four in just over a week. My game has totally gone. I'm like a golfer with the yips and
coincidentally, it was golf that tripped me up today.

I solved yellow and green without too many problems, leaving me with eight words to assemble. And I spotted, correctly, that one of the remaining groups was almost certainly a 'bad golf shots' connection because I had HOOK, SLICE and SHANK. But I've never heard WHIFF used in that context (I'm not a golfer) and guessed every one of the remaining answers except the actual one, meaning yet another defeat.

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.
