The answers to today's Connections, game #471, are YELLOW: INSPIRED CREATIVE, FRESH, NOVEL, ORIGINAL GREEN: PROCURE IN ADVANCE BOOK, CHARTER, RESERVE, SECURE BLUE: BIT OF PARTY DECORATION BALLOON, BANNER, CONFETTI, GARLAND PURPLE: ONLINE PERSONALITY AMBASSADOR, INFLUENCER, MODEL, STREAMER My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

Though I did make one mistake today, I'm not beating myself up about it because really there was no way I could have known which answer was the genuine one. This is a common theme in Connections: the inclusion of answers that act as red herrings due to their possible inclusion in multiple categories. Today I assembled three-quarters of the ONLINE PERSONALITY group, which ended up being the purple one, in the form of INFLUENCER, MODEL and STREAMER. I added in CREATIVE because that very much is another type of online personality but it turned out the final one was the slightly more tenuous AMBASSADOR. CREATIVE instead went in the INSPIRED yellow group, which also made sense.

None of this unduly troubled me, because this was another relatively easy Connections game, and I ticked off the others with no real problems.

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.
