The answers to today's Connections, game #752, are YELLOW: KNOCKOFF BOOTLEG, COPY, FAKE, REPLICA BLUE: WORDS AFTER "T-" MOBILE, PAIN, REX, SHIRT GREEN: ASSOCIATED WITH FREUD DREAMS, ID, OEDIPUS, SLIP PURPLE: STARTING WITH HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE ABBREVIATIONS FRESHWATER, JUNIPER, SENECA, SOPHOCLES My
rating: Hard My score: Fail

Back in the day when I was a music journalist, someone used my name to blag free gig tickets and they were going out having much more fun than I was. I only found out when I turned up at a concert once and was refused entry. I mention this because a KNOCKOFF is not always easy to spot unlike todays yellow group, which was a doddle.

The rest of todays Connections were really tough. I thought Id cracked the code when I got WORDS AFTER T-, but the last two groups destroyed me.

Thinking that there must be a group connected by philosophy, I tried OEDIPUS, SENECA, and SOPHOCLES and added JUNIPER out of ignorance.

This gave me a one away, but I used up all my remaining guesses trying to complete a non-existent group. What Freud would have to say about that I dont know, but I suspect itd be something to do with my dreams of my mother doing crosswords.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

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.
