The answers to today's Connections, game #665, are YELLOW: ALOOF COOL, DISTANT, REMOTE, RESERVED GREEN: UTILITIES CABLE, GAS, TRASH, WATER BLUE:
WHAT AN ELECTROMETER MEASURES CHARGE, CURRENT, RESISTANCE, VOLTAGE PURPLE: __ JOINT DOVETAIL, HIP, PIZZA, SPIKE LEE My rating: Moderate My score: 2
mistakes

A solid performance from me today, but I did make two mistakes. They both
came in trying to organize what would become WHAT AN ELECTROMETER MEASURES.

I convinced myself we were looking for something to do with charging electric cars, so I had CHARGE, CURRENT, CABLE and VOLTAGE before trying REMOTE too. I eventually decided to abandon it altogether.

Fortunately, the other three groups came together quite easily despite a few US-UK linguistic differences.

This was a rare turn where I saw the purple group first. SPIKE LEE was the giveaway (whose Do The Right Thing movie featured a PIZZA joint), while DOVETAIL is permanently edged in my memory from school and my major life achievement of making a spice rack that lasted about two weeks, collapsing under the pressure of a jar of oregano.

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.
