The answers to today's Connections, game #399, are YELLOW: SLENDER
PROJECTIONS POINT, PRONG, TINE, TIP GREEN: CONDITIONS FOR COLLECTIBLES FAIR, FINE, GOOD, MINT BLUE: PROFESSION BUSINESS, FIELD, LINE, TRADE PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE NUT BRAZIL, BUTTER, DOUGH, PINE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

It's a rare day indeed when I solve the purple group at all and it's even rarer when I solve it before any of the others. But then again, it's also not often that it's as easy as today's NUT-based connection. The second I saw
both BRAZIL and PINE in the same puzzle I knew there was a good chance they were linked, and on noticing DOUGH and BUTTER too I was convinced.

Unsurprisingly, the other three groups were easier still, and for once I can genuinely say that I would have got the final one (which for me was blue, 'profession') even if it hadn't been by default.

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.
