The answers to today's Connections, game #903, are YELLOW: TOLERATE BEAR, STAND, STOMACH, SWALLOW GREEN: FLOP BUST, LEMON, MISS, TURKEY BLUE: FICTIONAL PIRATES HOOK, LUFFY, SILVER, SPARROW PURPLE: ENDING IN COLOR HOMOPHONES CAMEROON, COCKATIEL, UNREAD, WHISTLEBLEW My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

I've been pretty good at getting purple groups recently, but I was utterly blind to todays quartet the oddly past tense WHISTLEBLEW should have tipped me off. Kudos if you saw it.

My first mistake today was the obvious one of thinking we had a collection of birds in COCKATIEL, TURKEY, SPARROW and SWALLOW. Sometimes the obvious is right sometimes its way off.

Next I somehow fluked my way to FICTIONAL PIRATES, although my first attempt included CAMEROON instead of HOOK (I thought they might be different breeds
of an animal rather than fellas who wander around with parrots on their shoulders). Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Saturday, November 29, game #902) YELLOW: ABDOMINAL AREA CORE, MIDSECTION, TORSO, TRUNK GREEN:

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.
