The answers to today's Connections, game #772, are YELLOW: SASSINESS
ATTITUDE, CHEEK, LIP, MOUTH GREEN: MITIGATE CUSHION, DAMPEN, SOFTEN, TEMPER BLUE: PATTERNS CAMO, CHECKERS, HONEYCOMB, STRIPES PURPLE: ___PIE CHESS,
CUTIE, HUMBLE, WHOOPIE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I had never heard of a CHESS pie or a WHOOPIE pie before today both look highly calorific and delicious so I think I can be excused for not seeing
the purple group. Congratulations if you did.

The other three quartets I found quite straightforward after sidestepping putting together CHECKERS and chess.

SASSINESS was my last collection, in part due to me harbouring the mistaken belief that there was a group about faces. Getting no further than LIP, MOUTH and CHEEK I turned my attention elsewhere. Yesterday's 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.
