The answers to today's Connections, game #630, are YELLOW: CELLPHONE MODES AIRPLANE, DO NOT DISTURB, RING, VIBRATE GREEN: EVADE DODGE, ESCAPE, LOSE, SHAKE BLUE: WHAT "W" MIGHT STAND FOR TUNGSTEN, WATT, WEST, WIN PURPLE: ___STRING DRAW, HAM, HEART, SHOE My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

I cant help but think that todays puzzle was the work of someone who follows the machinations of the English Premier League, considering how it contained the words WEST and HAM beside the word LOSE (West Ham United are a London football club having a fairly indifferent season).

The EVADE group came together quickly but it was just guesswork that got me ___STRING after initially thinking I was looking for objects from Dr Seuss stories (HAM in Green Eggs & Ham, SHOE in Wacky Wednesday).

Meanwhile, my lack of knowledge of the periodic table meant that WHAT W MIGHT STAND FOR was a mystery until Google helped me out with my confusion W being the symbol for TUNGSTEN, as it is also known as Wolfram in many countries.

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.
