The answers to today's Connections, game #667, are YELLOW: PRICK JAB, PIERCE, POKE, STICK GREEN: RADIO LINGO COPY, NEGATIVE, OVER, ROGER BLUE: OLD
TESTAMENT BOOKS DANIEL, JOB, JUDGES, NUMBERS PURPLE: WORDS PRONOUNCED "SH" WITHOUT AN "SH" SEAN, SIOBHAN, SUGAR, SURE My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

I fell for todays trick group, even though I suspected it was a trick group
I just couldnt help myself.

DANIEL, PIERCE, SEAN and ROGER are, of course, all the first names of actors who have portrayed British Secret Service Agent James Bond. Alas, Craig, Brosnan, Connery and Moore were just a sleight of hand by the mischievous Connections gang, who are no doubt sniggering into their sleeves.

A Bond link caused my second mistake, too, as it made me think that the word ODD was also a common theme beginning with OddJOB a rather memorable Bond movie henchman. I linked it with NUMBERS, STICK and SUGAR, but again came up blank.

I finally made headway after seeing the four synonyms for PRICK and the quartet of OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS.

All Sean Connery impressions exaggerate the way he pronounced the letter S as an elongated Sh sound, sho in a shurprising way I shaw the four WORDS PRONOUNCED SH WITHOUT AN SH. Oh yesh.

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.
