The answers to today's Connections, game #852, are YELLOW: SIGNIFICANT BIG, IMPORTANT, MAJOR, SERIOUS GREEN: ONE IN A SEPTET CONTINENT, DEADLY SIN, SISTER, WONDER BLUE: TAROT CARDS, WITH "THE" DEVIL, LOVERS, MAGICIAN, STAR PURPLE: ___ EYE EVIL, MAGIC, NAKED, THIRD My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake

I knew that what became the blue group had something to do with tarot cards, not because I know anything about tarot cards but because there was a similar group not too long ago. However, I still made a mistake in trying to get the correct quartet including MAGIC instead of STAR.

ONE IN A SEPTET came to me due to SISTER and the fact that I live near an
area of London called Seven Sisters.

After an easy run I knew a harder game was coming. I hope you got though it unscathed. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, October 9, game #851) YELLOW: FANTASY FANCY, FICTION, FIGMENT, INVENTION GREEN: KINDS OF

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.
