The answers to today's Connections, game #669, are YELLOW: SHADES OF YELLOW CANARY, GOLD, LEMON, MUSTARD GREEN: SUPPLY MINE, RESERVE, STORE, WELL BLUE: ANTI-SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS BAH, COAL, GRINCH, NAUGHTY PURPLE: SPANISH WORDS ELLA, GUSTO, MAYO, SOY My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake

Having skipped the obvious trickery CANARY, COAL, MINE I fell for one of my own making, thinking that SOY, MUSTARD, MAYO, and LEMON would make an excellent salad dressing. It was wrong, of course. Also Id add a bit of honey if I was going to make it.

Having SHADES OF YELLOW being the yellow group was a cute touch. I can remember them doing the same for green last year (olive, forest, lime and mint) but I dont think theyve done blue or purple yet, so Ill be on the look out for those.

If the group felt familiar it could be because yellow shades cropped up as a theme in Strands a few weeks ago, but there we had goldenrod instead of GOLD.

The SPANISH WORDS seem quite random and Im wondering if Im missing something special about ELLA (she), GUSTO (taste), MAYO (May), and SOY (am) a common sensation with the purple group, which usually travels a mile over my head.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, 9 April, game #668) 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 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.
