The answers to today's Connections, game #783, are YELLOW: ATTACH WITH ADHESIVE ADHERE, AFFIX, GLUE, STICK BLUE: BOWLING RESULTS FOUL, SPARE, SPLIT, STRIKE GREEN: POLITE TERMS FOR SEX COMMERCE, CONGRESS, INTIMACY, RELATIONS PURPLE: CONTRONYMS (WORDS THAT CAN MEAN OPPOSITE THINGS) CLEAVE, GARNISH, OVERSIGHT, SANCTION My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

The NYT didnt use the most obvious CONTRONYMS (WORDS THAT CAN MEAN OPPOSITE THINGS) today, in my opinion at least.

Two good ones would have been buckle and fast, which would have certainly put me in doubts over whether they belonged in the group that was about attachments.

Anyway, all of this is to mask my embarrassment over taking three guesses to get POLITE TERMS FOR SEX.

I thought that this group had something to do with international trade, so I tried including SANCTION and OVERSIGHT before swapping them out for INTIMACY.

Please tell me I wasnt the only person that didnt see this group!

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.
