The answers to today's Connections, game #659, are YELLOW: CONSUMED ATE, HAD, PUT AWAY, TOOK IN GREEN: ALSO AS WELL, BESIDES, TO BOOT, TOO BLUE: ATM
OPTIONS BALANCE, DEPOSIT, TRANSFER, WITHDRAWAL PURPLE: __PLAY FORE, HORSE, SCREEN, WORD My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

After my worst ever Connections yesterday I was relieved to return to winning ways, but also experienced that rarest of pleasures (for me at least) of actually getting the purple group.

I wasnt particularly thinking ATM OPTIONS, more just banking terminology, but I was happy to begin with the blue group even if this seemed a very easy
blue group.

Initially I was thinking the word silver was a link for SCREEN and HORSE (Ive got a vague memory of silver horse being used to describe a motorcycle), before I realized _PLAY was the connecting word.

I should be feeling quite clever, but not seeing the yellow group at all suggests this run was down to luck rather than Connections skill.

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.
