The answers to today's Connections, game #695, are YELLOW: SILENCE CALM,
HUSH, PEACE, STILL GREEN: TENNIS COMPETITION UNITS GAME, MATCH, SET, TOURNAMENT BLUE: COMPARATIVELY SMALL BABY, COMPACT, MINUTE, TOY PURPLE: STARTING WITH SYNONYMS FOR "TEASE" KIDNEY, MOCKINGBIRD, RAZZMATAZZ, RIBBON My rating: Easy My score: Perfect
I did think that there was a group about teasing today, but in mine I had TOY and BABY rather than the clever gathering of STARTING WITH SYNONYMS FOR
TEASE.
I love that Connections features this kind of wordplay, I just wish that I could see it more easily.
I got todays groups in order of difficulty, which always makes me feel an inner sense of PEACE. The SILENCE words came quickly; my only doubt was originally thinking that they had something to do with meditation and that
SET belonged in the gang.
TENNIS COMPETITION UNITS was easy, too, thanks to the umpires pronouncement
of Game, set, and match being permanently etched on our brains regardless of whether we like tennis or not.
Personally, Im in and out. I like the tantrums more than the actual games.

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.
