The answers to today's Connections, game #909, are YELLOW: NORM AVERAGE,
MEAN, PAR, STANDARD GREEN: MOLLIFY COOL, MODERATE, SETTLE, TEMPER BLUE:
MEMBER OF A TITULAR GROUP IN AN ANIMATION FRANCHISE CAR, INCREDIBLE, MINION, MONSTER PURPLE: STARTING WITH HERPETOFAUNA ADDERALL, MONITORSHIP, NEWTON, TOADY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

Ill be honest, I wasnt thinking of words STARTING WITH HERPETOFAUNA when I collected ADDERALL, MONITORSHIP, NEWTON, and TOADY together. But I was thinking that they all had types of animals at the beginning.

This, though, is one of the things I love about Connections that it can simultaneously make you feel dumb and send you down a Googling rabbit hole of knowledge.

That said, I was disappointed that I didnt get the blue group from the beginning, especially after watching the three Pixar movies in the list
dozens of times. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, December 5,
game #908) YELLOW: TRICKY COMPLEX, DELICATE, STICKY, TOUGH GREEN: STATE OF AFFAIRS DEAL, SITUATION, STATUS, STORY BLUE: CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MASTERMIND, MOUSE TRAP, OPERATION, SORRY PURPLE: ____TALK BABY, PILLOW, SMALL, SWEET 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.
