The answers to today's Connections, game #726, are YELLOW: NEWSPAPER JOBS COLUMNIST, EDITOR, PHOTOGRAPHER, REPORTER GREEN: EVERYDAY COMMON, REGULAR, ROUTINE, STANDARD BLUE: WHAT "CON" MIGHT MEAN CONVENTION, CRIMINAL, DRAWBACK, SWINDLE PURPLE: ENDING WITH KINDS OF DOGS NEWSHOUND, SHADOWBOXER, SNICKERDOODLE, TRENDSETTER My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

My only mistake today was including NEWSHOUND rather than PHOTOGRAPHER among the list of NEWSPAPER JOBS. I can see now that it was a trap, but my thinking was that the other possibilities were all about words rather than images.

Making this mistake did, however, throw open the ENDING WITH KINDS OF DOGS group as I spotted setter (TRENDSETTER) and boxer (SHADDOWBOXER) along with hound.

From here the green EVERYDAY group was easy to pull together you could
almost say it was ROUTINE, which was fortunate as the blue group was todays most tricky, although obvious in the aftermath of a completed game.

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.
