The answers to today's Connections, game #372, are YELLOW: DELIVER, AS A PACKAGE MAIL, POST, SEND, SHIP GREEN: KINDS OF LIP MAKEUP BALM, GLOSS, LINER, STAIN BLUE: PREDICAMENT CORNER, FIX, HOLE, SPOT PURPLE: MEASURED IN DEGREES ANGLE, CRIME, EDUCATION, TEMPERATURE My rating: Moderate My score: Fail

This is my first Connections failure in weeks, and I'm kinda annoyed about
it. No, scratch that I'm furious at myself, and a little miffed at the NYT.

I don't want this to sound like sour grapes, because I probably should have solved the blue 'predicament' group, which wasn't exactly impossible.
However, the purple one is just stupid. How is EDUCATION 'measured in degrees'? Yes, a degree is a qualification in higher education but it's not
a measurement. Merriam-Webster defines a degree, as it relates to education, as "a title conferred on students by a college, university, or professional school on completion of a program of study." It's not a measurement. Or am I missing something?

That said, I made hard work of the other three groups too, so ultimately I have nobody to blame but myself. This was a hard puzzle, but it wasn't impossible. I'll chalk this one down as a bad day.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, 16 June, game #371) YELLOW: CURRENT SITUATION CONDITION, FORM, SHAPE, STATE GREEN: REMOTE RURAL AREA BUSH, COUNTRY, STICKS, WOODS BLUE: CLASSIC LAWN ORNAMENTS FLAMINGO, FOUNTAIN, GNOME, PINWHEEL
PURPLE: ___ TALE FAIRY, FISH, FOLK, TALL What is NYT Connections?

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.
