The answers to today's Connections, game #834, are YELLOW: BASIC GEOMETRIC CALCULATIONS AREA, LENGTH, PERIMETER, VOLUME GREEN: BLACK-AND-WHITE THINGS CROSSWORD, DOMINO, ORCA, OREO BLUE: LAS VEGAS CASINO HOTELS ARIA, ENCORE, EXCALIBUR, LUXOR PURPLE: WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE PLURAL LETTERS ARS, AYES,
EASE, OWES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect
Todays purple group WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE PLURAL LETTERS is a great example
of how saying the tiles out loud should be part of our process.
Of course, that isnt always easy. If you work in an office or play
Connections in a coffee shop then people may think you are losing your mind. That was especially the case today with ARS and AYES.
Fortunately, I didnt have to sound out any words as Id already completed the game before reaching the most difficult group BLACK AND WHITE THINGS was a recent Strands theme, so I saw that quickly, followed by BASIC GEOMETRIC CALCULATIONS.
The final eight tiles did present me with a challenge. I knew that EXCALIBUR and LUXOR were LAS VEGAS CASINO HOTELS, but it was a lucky guess that got me ARIA and ENCORE.

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.
