The answers to today's Connections, game #658, are YELLOW: AVERAGE MEAN,
NORM, PAR, STANDARD GREEN: PICTURED ON THE U.S. GREAT SEAL ARROWS, EAGLE, OLIVE BRANCH, SHIELD BLUE: PROPER NOUNS IN BROADWAY MUSICAL TITLES THAT ARE SPOKEN PHRASES BIRDIE, DOLLY, KATE, YANKEES PURPLE: __MAN BOGEY, CRAFTS, GENTLE, SPOKES My rating: Hard My score: Fail

This was my worst Connections experience for about a year, as I crashed out without getting any correct groups.

Of course I tried EAGLE, BIRDIE, BOGEY, PAR as my first attempt and knew I
was in trouble when this collection of golfing terms turned out blank. I'm sure I wasnt the only person to make this error. Next, without any good reason, I put together NORM, DOLLY, KATE, and PAR thinking they were names.

Floundering to find a group I tried STANDARD, EAGLE, SHIELD and ARROWS thinking it had something to do with a medieval legion (can you tell Im rewatching Game of Thrones ?). Close by an OLIVE BRANCH away from saving my streak.

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.
