The answers to today's Connections, game #604, are YELLOW: CONSERVE KEEP, PRESERVE, SAVE, STORE GREEN: SMOOTH USING FRICTION BUFF, FILE, GRIND, SAND BLUE: SPORTS GAMBLING TERMS FAVORITE, PARLAY, SPREAD, UNDER PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE "FINGERS" BUTTER, CHICKEN, LADY, STICKY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

The only STICKY group for me today was WORDS BEFORE FINGERS and this was just because Id never heard of CHICKEN Fingers. If the group had included FISH I would have got it more quickly although I believe that in the US this pinnacle of orange cuisine is called a Fish Stick.

The Fish Stick was invented by frozen food pioneer Clarence Birdseye and was originally made from herrings. It only became a product made from cod in the 1950s and its success was rapid in the UK, where they were marketed with the slogan No bones, no waste, no smell, no fuss. Im not sure about that last
part as its a given that if you clean your freezer you will always find some orange fishy crumbs preserved in the ice, even if you havent eaten a fish finger in years. Finger crumbs the wooly mammoth of the modern suburbia.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, 3 February, game #603) YELLOW: COMMENT AFTER AN INSULT BURN, OUCH, SNAP, ZING GREEN: TINY AMOUNT, WITH "A" BIT, LITTLE, MITE, TAD BLUE: BIT OF CITRUS GARNISH SLICE, TWIST, WEDGE, ZEST PURPLE: BUNGLE,
WITH "UP" FOUL, LOUSE, MUCK, SCREW 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.
