The answers to today's Connections, game #464, are YELLOW: GET EXCITED, WITH "UP" AMP, FIRE, HYPE, PSYCH GREEN: KINDS OF SHOES FLAT, MULE, PUMP, SLIDE BLUE: LEGISLATIVE ROLES CHAIR, LEADER, SPEAKER, WHIP PURPLE: NAME HOMOPHONES DUG, MATTE, MIC, PEAT My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake
Just the one mistake for me today, and that came right at the start on what ended up being (supposedly) the easiest of the four groups. Fortunately, blue and purple were both a fair bit simpler than they sometimes are, so I was never close to failing overall.
Purple was a particular favorite of mine; I love homophone puzzles, and
always look for them in Connections. Though they typically form the most difficult group, they're only difficult because they're 'hidden' compared to simple synonym groups; once you spot one, the other three are generally easy to find, so I always sound out each word just in case. That happened today with PEAT, which I looked at and thought PETE? Then looked at the rest of the board and found MATTE (MATT), DUG (DOUG) and MIC (MIKE). Nice.

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.
