The answers to today's Connections, game #662, are YELLOW: PRINTED NOTIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT, BULLETIN, NOTICE, POSTER GREEN: SEEN AT A GROCERY CHECKOUT COUNTER CONVEYOR BELT, REGISTER, SCALE, SCANNER BLUE: THINGS WITH TABS BROWSER, FOLDER, KEYBOARD, SODA CAN PURPLE: PALM ___ BEACH, READER, SUNDAY, TREE My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

Although PALM__ made up the purple group, and I was very pleased with myself to get it, the blue collection of THINGS WITH TABS was far harder as if
often the case when Connections has fun with the multiple meanings of words.

In this case it was even harder for me, as the thing Americans call a tab on
a soda can is called a ring pull in the UK.

I made my two mistakes trying and failing to get SEEN AT A GROCERY CHECKOUT COUNTER.

In my head I was associating CONVEYOR BELT and SCANNER with airport security, so I tried multiple variations with KEYBOARD and READER before getting the right foursome. Shameful, seeing as I worked at a grocery checkout for
several years in my late teens.

Im glad to say I was never one of those cashiers who would comment on what
the customer was buying, those people are the worst.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, 2 April, game #661) YELLOW: CAPRICE FANCY, IMPULSE, LARK, WHIM GREEN: ILK KIND, LIKE, SORT, TYPE BLUE: WILLIAMSES HANK, ROBIN, TENNESSEE, VENUS PURPLE: WORDS PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY AS PROPER NOUNS HERB, JOB, NICE, READING 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.
