The answers to today's Connections, game #668, are YELLOW: ROUND THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS BALL, GLOBE, ORB, SPHERE GREEN: PUNCH POP, POUND, SLUG, SOCK BLUE: ANIMALS IN THE WITCHES' BREW IN "MACBETH" BAT, DOG, FROG, NEWT PURPLE: FOX___ GLOVE, HOLE, HOUND, TROT My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

Thank goodness I got the purple group today, as there is no way I would have ever got ANIMALS IN THE WITCHES BREW IN MACBETH despite all four ingredients being typically witchy.

Before all that, though, I made two mistakes trying to get the easiest quartets thinking BALL, BAT, GLOVE and SOCK belonged together as vital components of baseball.

In hindsight, this was a bit silly, so I switched lanes and got a one away including bat in the group that would become PUNCH.

My muddling through was completed by getting the four words for FOX___
without actually having a clue what the link was until the reveal. Roll on tomorrow.

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.
