The answers to today's Connections, game #820, are YELLOW: NONSENSE BALONEY, BULL, BUNK, RUBBISH GREEN: INCREASE, WITH "UP" CRANK, HIKE, JACK, RAISE BLUE: FICTIONAL SPIES ARCHER, HUNT, PEEL, POWERS PURPLE: CAT___ FISH, NAP, TAIL, WALK My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

After yesterday's super-difficult round, I was hoping for an easier game
today so that I could try to rebuild my streak and thats what weve got.

That said, despite being the blue group I think FICTIONAL SPIES was the toughest to get, especially as it featured a vintage spy adventurer (Emma
PEEL from The Avengers TV series) alongside the better known Austin, Ethan
and Sterling. Certainly harder than CAT___.

All this said, I did come very close to giving away a mistake, thinking that HUNT, TAIL and FISH all had something to do with tracking someone.
Fortunately I resisted the temptation.

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.
