The answers to today's Connections, game #825, are YELLOW: IMPORTANT
CRITICAL, KEY, MAJOR, PRINCIPAL GREEN: INTIMATE AND UNDISCLOSED INNER, PERSONAL, PRIVATE, SECRET BLUE: GLOBAL CURRENCIES DOLLAR, POUND, STERLING,
WON PURPLE: BUFFALO ___ BILL, NICKEL, SOLDIER, WING My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I very nearly fell into the cash trap today that momentarily tricked me into thinking NICKEL, BILL and DOLLAR belonged together.

Fortunately, the word STERLING tipped me off that we were looking for GLOBAL CURRENCIES.

Before this close shave I had solved the easier yellow and green groups, although I wavered over including INNER for INTIMATE AND UNDISCLOSED.

I had not heard of the Buffalo Nickel and if I had I might have got the
purple group, but as ever it alluded me and the penny didnt drop until the game was over. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, September 12,

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.
