The answers to today's Connections, game #626, are YELLOW: EXPENDITURE
CHARGE, COST, PRICE, RATE GREEN: ONETIME FORMER, LATE, PAST, PRIOR BLUE: MADE WITH HORIZONTAL LINES DASH, HYPHEN, MINUS, UNDERSCORE PURPLE: SIMPSON FAMILY MEMBERS WITH FIRST LETTER CHANGED BAGGIE, BARGE, COMER, PISA My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake

There were lots of common pairs today (LATE, COMER) that, as ever, it was
wise to ignore and instead BARGE PAST on the way to a classic Connections solution involving something grammatical, something ambiguous and something
to do with The Simpsons .

UNDERSCORE could get a group of its own, considering that you can also call
it an understrike, an underline, and an underbar. Its a form of punctuation that was once rare, the preserve of teachers and angry letter writers, but
has now become more common. It has even developed a new lease of life in passwords, email addresses and when its used to denote a missing word where otherwise there would otherwise just be white space. Of all the punctuation MADE WITH HORIZONTAL LINES it is by far the coolest.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, 25 February, game #625) YELLOW: ENTHUSIASM GUSTO, PASSION, RELISH, ZEST GREEN: "MANY" IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES BEAUCOUP, MOLTO, MUCHO, MULTI BLUE: RECTANGULAR PRISMS BRICK, FISH TANK, MICROWAVE, SHOEBOX PURPLE: RHYME WITH U.S. COINS JENNY, LIME, MORTAR, PICKLE 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.
