The answers to today's Connections, game #761, are YELLOW: COMPANIES THAT

I made my first mistake trying to connect four birds, with DODO, SWAN, GOOSE, and FOWL.

Then a miracle happened and I actually cracked a homophone group something that I usually suffer Connections blindness with.

My victory laps were short-lived, however, as I floundered on the rocks
making groups of four groups and getting one away three times. If only I stopped to think about it instead of hoping to get lucky.

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.
