The answers to today's Connections, game #502, are YELLOW: DOT, PERIOD, POINT, TITTLE GREEN: EVENT WITH DANCING BALL, FORMAL, HOP, RAVE BLUE: IPHONE MESSAGE TAPBACK RESPONSES EXCLAMATION POINTS, HEART, QUESTION MARK, THUMBS UP PURPLE: PAN BAD REVIEW, CAMERA MOVEMENT, COOKWARE, SATYR My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake

Today I learned that the word TITTLE means a very small part or indeed a PERIOD, POINT or DOT, as it's used in today's Connections. And there I was thinking that it was a misspelling possibly deliberate of TITLE. That ignorance on my part cost me a guess, because I thought maybe BALL would be part of that group instead; don't laugh, it is the same shape at least!

That was supposedly the easiest of today's four groups, but none of them
could really be described as that. Green EVENT WITH DANCING was not too
bad, but FORMAL and HOP are not terms I've heard used often in the UK, where
I am, or at least not in the past half century so I had to rely on my knowledge of US TV and movies for that.

Fortunately, IPHONE MESSAGE TAPBACK RESPONSES was a little simpler for a tech journalist such as myself, but won't necessarily have been so if you're on Android instead. Purple, as always, was just difficult.

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.
