The week comes to an end with a fairly easy Connections puzzle that I don't think will cause people too many problems. It's certainly easier than yesterday's. But still might want some hints to help you solve it; if you do, simply scroll down.

What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I've also got daily Wordle hints and answers , Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those
too.

The answers to today's Connections, game #404, are YELLOW: ROMANTIC PARTNER FLAME, LOVER, STEADY, SWEETHEART GREEN: INSULT BURN, DIG, JAB, SLIGHT BLUE: GAS PUMP OPTIONS DIESEL, PLUS, PREMIUM, REGULAR PURPLE: ___ TABLE COFFEE, PERIODIC, POOL, WATER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

One of the first things I do with any Connections puzzle is look for the outliers; scan the board, read the words and see which ones don't have multiple meanings or possibilities. DIESEL is a great example: it's not a
word that appears in many contexts, unlike, say, FLAME or DIG or POOL. So
once I focused on that I was easily able to match it with PREMIUM, PLUS and REGULAR, and my game was up and running with the (supposedly) second hardest now complete. From there, it was a cinch to complete the remainder.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, 18 July, game #403) YELLOW: OPEN SPACE COURT, PLAZA, SQUARE, YARD GREEN: BOXING UNIT BOUT, CONTEST, MATCH, ROUND BLUE: GLITZINESS DAZZLE, FLASH, POMP, RITZ PURPLE: EMOJI FIRE, HEART, SKULL, SPARKLES 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.
