The answers to today's Connections, game #808, are YELLOW: RESTAURANT WATER OPTIONS BOTTLED, SPARKLING, STILL, TAP GREEN: ATM OPTIONS CHECKING, DEPOSIT, SAVINGS, WITHDRAWAL BLUE: BINARY QUESTION OPTIONS FALSE, NO, TRUE, YES
PURPLE: ROULETTE OPTIONS BLACK, EVEN, ODD, RED My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

I was on the right track today, but my mistake came in adding ODD and EVEN to YES and NO instead of TRUE and FALSE. After getting nowhere I changed lanes and completed the quiz.

It feels a while since weve had such a straightforward Connections game, so
Im annoyed with my silly mistake. Im surprised that BINARY QUESTION OPTIONS wasnt classified as the hardest group, as ROULETTE OPTIONS was much easier.

I have a 100% record with the roulette, having played just once at a casino
in the UK and won once.

It was only a small amount of money but Ive seen enough films and TV shows featuring roulette wheels to know that the numbers were stacked against repeating my luck and I would descend into a spiral of crime, divorce and chronic ill health if I'd have played on. Cashing in those chips was possibly the most sensible thing Ive ever done.

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.
