The answers to today's Connections, game #764, are YELLOW: SHADES OF BLUE BABY, ICE, POWDER, SKY GREEN: ADJECTIVES FOR A SPORTS CAR COMPACT, FAST, SLEEK, SPORTY BLUE: WORDS BEFORE "ROGER/S" GINGER, JOLLY, MISTER, ROY PURPLE: DISNEY ANIMATED CHARACTERS PLUS A LETTER ABUT, BELLED, FLOUNDERS, SCARY My rating: Hard My score: Fail

I fell hook, line and sinker for todays Spice Girls trap, selecting SPORTY, GINGER, SCARY, and BABY before Id even stopped to think of any alternatives. This was just the start of my woes.

My next mistake was thinking we were looking for words that described the surfaces in winter sports, so I had ICE, COMPACT, SLEEK, and POWDER.

The only group I got through deduction was WORDS BEFORE ROGER/S after seeing the link between GINGER, ROY, JOLLY, and MISTER. The yellow group I had
gotten thinking that the word Vanilla was the connection Vanilla SKY is a movie, Vanilla ICE is a rapper, people buy vanilla-flavored protein powder, theres a tanning product called Vanilla Baby. All in all, not my greatest of games. I hope it was better for you.

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.
