The answers to today's Connections, game #655, are YELLOW: AFFECT MOVE,
REACH, SWAY, TOUCH GREEN: YOU GOT IT! BINGO, CORRECT, DING, RIGHT BLUE: SLANG FOR MONEY CHANGE, GREEN, PAPER, SCRATCH PURPLE: OBJECTS WITH THE PREFIX "MICRO-" CHIP, PHONE, SCOPE, WAVE My rating: Hard My score: Fail

I crashed out today after finally only getting the yellow group following a series of failed guesses.

First I thought we were looking for words that describe minor car accidents SCRATCH, DING, CHIP, TOUCH. I know touch may sound extreme, but my car door recently touched another car door in a parking lot and it escalated very rapidly.

After exhausting that possibility I thought things you do with your hands
made sense, so I grouped together touch, REACH, scratch, and WAVE, again getting the dreaded groups of four warning.

My last failed mission was _card with GREEN, PHONE, BINGO and scratch all making sense to me.

Had I survived, the blue group would have gone over my head, but I think I would have got OBJECTS WITH THE PREFIX MICRO eventually.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, 26 March, game #654) YELLOW: PARTS OF A TABLE SETTING FORK, GLASS, NAPKIN, PLATE GREEN: INCREASED, WITH "UP" FLEW, ROSE, SHOT, THRUST BLUE: KINDS OF DIGITAL STORAGE CARD, CLOUD, DISK, DRIVE PURPLE: UNITS OF VOLUME PLUS LETTER BOUNCE, GALLEON, PINOT, QUARTZ 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.
