The answers to today's Connections, game #544, are YELLOW:BAFFLE PERPLEX, PUZZLE, STUMP, VEX GREEN:CURSE HEX, JINX, POX, SPELL BLUE:TOY STORY CHARACTERS, FAMILIARLY BUZZ, HAMM, REX, SLINKY PURPLE:COLLOQUIAL SUFFIXES CORE, GATE, MANIA, PILLED My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes

The first thing that jumped out from todays Connections was a collection of words ending in X. Surely were not going to fall into the trap of thinking theyre a group, right? Er

No, no, lets resist. With Wicked in theaters right now, words connected to witches seem timely, so HEX, SPELL, JINX, and POX didnt require magical
skills to spot.

Staying at the movies, the first thing that came to mind with the word BUZZ was the astronaut from the Toy Story movies. It helps being a parent whos
seen the movies about 62 times, of course, but I didnt know the pig had two
Ms until now.

As someone who exists in a near-permanent state of BAFFLEment todays yellow was straightforward, but Purple had me stumped my first thought was things connected to wrestling. I'm not sure what PILLED is, but it could be some killer Caretaker move, surely? Instead it was COLLOQUIAL SUFFIXES every days a school day!

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, 5 December, game #543) YELLOW:APTITUDE FLAIR, GIFT, INSTINCT, NOSE GREEN:EXTERIOR FACE, FRONT, OUTSIDE, SURFACE BLUE:TECH COMPANIES AMAZON, APPLE, INTUIT, ORACLE PURPLE:__STONE BRIM, LIME, RHINE, YELLOW 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.
