The answers to today's Connections, game #901, are YELLOW: FITTING FAIR,
JUST, PROPER, RIGHT GREEN: ACHIEVE VICTORY OVER BEAT, BEST, TAKE, WORST BLUE: PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC GUITAR FRET, PEG, PICKUP, STRING PURPLE: PHONETIC ELEMENTS OF SPEECH INTONATION, LOUDNESS, RHYTHM, STRESS My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake

After getting PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, I incorrectly thought that there was another musical group that had something to do with drumming adding BEAT to INTONATION, LOUDNESS, RHYTHM.

That guess was wrong, but after getting a lucky one way from my second guess
I swapped BEAT for STRESS. I was uncertain what the connection was until they revealed themselves, but still pleased to have got the purple group so early regardless of how scrappy a win it was.

With just eight tiles left I saw FITTING. The word WORST prevented me from seeing ACHIEVE VICTORY OVER, as Im sure it did many.

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.
