The answers to today's Connections, game #810, are YELLOW: FAMOUS PERSON FIGURE, NAME, PERSONALITY, STAR GREEN: INCREASE BALLOON, MOUNT, MUSHROOM, WAX BLUE: PLACES THAT SELL GAS 7-ELEVEN, CHEVRON, GULF, SHELL PURPLE: SPLIT 7-10, BANANA, LICKETY, STOCK My rating: Hard My score: Fail

I crashed out today after cobbling together the yellow group having already made a couple of errors.

Annoyingly, I was on the right track for three of the groups. I thought that SPLIT was the link but I had PERSONALITY and CHEVRON instead of 7-10 and STOCK. Not even getting one away tricked me into thinking I was off track.

Then, with just one mistake left, I had BALLOON, MUSHROOM, and MOUNT but had STOCK instead of WAX.

Being based in the UK I think I can be forgiven for missing PLACES THAT SELL GAS, but, regardless, this was a poor round for me. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, August 28, game #809) YELLOW: PLACES TO GET TRAPPED NET, SNARE, TANGLE, WEB GREEN: USED FOR TEA CUP, KETTLE, TEABAG,

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.
