The answers to today's Connections, game #900, are YELLOW: INUNDATION AVALANCHE, OUTPOURING, TIDAL WAVE, TORRENT GREEN: MAIN FOLDERS IN A COMPUTER DESKTOP, DOCUMENTS, DOWNLOADS, MUSIC BLUE: WOODWORKING TOOLS DRILLS, FILES, ROUTERS, SAWS PURPLE: RHYMES FOR NEW YORK TIMES GAMES CONFECTIONS, GRANDS, HURDLE, SWELLING SEA My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes

It took me several attempts before getting INUNDATION first I thought it was something to do with currents and water so I played SWELLING SEA instead of OUTPOURING, then I swapped that for GRANDS guessing it might be a term for, erm, rapid water?

After getting the yellow group I made a hash of the green category, with
FILES in place of DESKTOP.

Thankfully, WOODWORKING TOOLS was easy from here as despite playing them all every day I would never have seen RHYMES FOR NEW YORK TIMES GAMES kudos if you did. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, November 26, game #899) YELLOW: VERBS EXPRESSING POSSIBILITY CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT GREEN: WOMEN'S NICKNAMES DEB, JAN, KAT, SUE BLUE: FINANCIAL ABBREVIATIONS APR, CFO, IRA, SEC PURPLE: BACKWARDS ANIMALS FLOW, GOD, MAR, TAB 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.
