The answers to today's Connections, game #776, are YELLOW: HERBS AND SPICES ANISE, DILL, MACE, SAGE GREEN: SHADES OF GREEN BOTTLE, HUNTER, KELLY, PEA BLUE: TRAVEL ON FOOT HIKE, MARCH, TRAMP, TREK PURPLE: STARTS OF EUROPEAN CAPITALS COPE, LUXE, SARA, WARS My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

As someone who likes a good HIKE up a hillside, Im very familiar with the
many alternative ways to describe a long walk or TRAVEL ON FOOT, as Connections puts it.

If I want to tempt a companion to join me, Ill use the word TREK, with its implications of adventure if theyre more sporty than me (99% of people) and Ill ask if they fancy a meander if theyre slower (1% of people). I cant imagine who Id ask about going for a TRAMP, though.

HERBS AND SPICES was equally easy, but thats where my fun ended.

With eight words left I was clueless. The only link I could make was PEA
green and BOTTLE green and after a couple of errors managed to form a group.

Even with the purple group completed for me it took a Google before I
realised SARA was for Sarajevo and LUXE for the capital of Luxembourg, also called Luxembourg. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, July 25, game #775) YELLOW: HUSH-HUSH MUM, PRIVATE, QUIET, SECRET GREEN: STATE

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.
