The answers to today's Connections, game #483, are YELLOW: TURN TAIL FLEE, LEAVE, RETREAT, WITHDRAW GREEN: THINGS CATS DO KNEAD, PURR, SCRATCH, SHED BLUE: PAGES ON A WEBSITE ABOUT, CONTACT, HOME, LOGIN PURPLE: ___ CHEESE COTTAGE, CREAM, GOAT, STRING My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I like cats, I like cheese and I work on a website, so I was in a good place to solve today's Connections, which featured all three as groups. That said, it was the yellow TURN TAIL group with FLEE, LEAVE, RETREAT and WITHDRAW that I solved first, perhaps unsurprisingly given that it was pretty straightforward and consisted only of synonyms.

The others were technically more difficult. Green THINGS CATS DO did occur to me early on, on account of PURR and SCRATCH. KNEAD made sense too, but I couldn't find a fourth. I nearly guessed CREAM or STRING as things associated with cats, but they didn't quite fit with the other three. And then
eventually I realized that SHED could be a verb, too, at which point it all fell into place.

Q-TIP, XEROX What is NYT Connections?

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.
