The answers to today's Connections, game #714, are YELLOW: PLAYING CARDS ACE, JACK, KING, QUEEN GREEN: DOPPELGNGER CLONE, DOUBLE, RINGER, TWIN BLUE: EAR PIERCING SITES CONCH, HELIX, LOBE, ROOK PURPLE: __ MAIL CHAIN, ELECTRONIC, JUNK, SNAIL My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake

EAR PIERCING SITES is something I know absolutely nothing about, so it was a good job that SNAIL triggered a quartet of __MAIL words.

Before my final pair of groups Id made a mistake in thinking that there was a group containing curled things, so I had SNAIL, HELIX and CONCH and added
LOBE as I was thinking about the shape of ears.

Fortunately I abandoned this blind alley and went for the far more obvious PLAYING CARDS and DOPPELGNGER.

According to German folklore, all humans have a spirit double which is invisible but identical to them. Its an odd thought. Somewhere in the world there is someone who looks exactly like us playing 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.
