The answers to today's Connections, game #637, are YELLOW: COMPUTER INPUT DEVICES MICROPHONE, MOUSE, SCANNER, TABLET GREEN: BUILDING MATERIALS BRICK, CONCRETE, METAL, STONE BLUE: HELPFUL DEED FAVOR, KINDNESS, SERVICE, SOLID PURPLE: #1 SONGS FROM 1982 ABRACADABRA, CENTERFOLD, MICKEY, PHYSICAL My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

METAL MICKEY popped out at me from todays grid, both the title of an obscure 1980s childrens show directed by Mickey Dolenz and the brilliant second
single by the wonderful Suede. It was of course just a diversion on our quest to find the true answers.

None of the #1 SONGS FROM 1982 have aged particularly well, although Steve Miller's ABRACADABRA (not to be confused with Lady Gagas fab new TikTok-friendly hit which title aside nobody ever will) was sampled by
Eminem and remains an utter earworm that I will now be singing to myself for the rest of the weekend.

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.
