The answers to today's Connections, game #555, are YELLOW: INTREPIDITY GRIT, HEART, NERVE, PLUCK GREEN: ROAD ARTERY, AVENUE, DRAG, DRIVE BLUE: KINDS OF PAPER CONSTRUCTION, GRAPH, TISSUE, WAX PURPLE: KINDS OF TENNIS COURTS CARPET, CLAY, GRASS, HARD My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

Perhaps if we were in the thick of the tennis season I would have got there a bit more quickly today, but having said that CARPET does not automatically spring to mind when you think of tennis surfaces. Presumably tennis carpet is different to the shag-pile material you might find in a living room although I like the idea of Sinner and Alcaraz duking it out in their slippers.

Meanwhile, the only reason I got the Green group is because I used to have a friend who was always going on about going to the main DRAG on Saturday
night. You going down the drag? hed ask relentlessly.

I have to admit I was reluctant. Hitting the crowded bars and clubs in the center of town might be some peoples idea of a great night out, but Ive
always found it a bit of a drag. Id rather watch tennis. Or play Connections.

BULB 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.

Connections today (game #562) - hint #2 - group answers

What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups? YELLOW: "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!" GREEN: BELOVED, AS A FRIEND BLUE: WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE PLURAL LETTERS PURPLE: WHEN TRIPLED, HIT SONG TITLES

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #562) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #562, are YELLOW: "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!" BEARS, LIONS, OH MY, TIGERS GREEN: BELOVED, AS A FRIEND CLOSE, DEAR, INTIMATE, TIGHT BLUE: WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE PLURAL LETTERS BEES, EASE, JAYS, USE PURPLE: WHEN TRIPLED, HIT SONG TITLES BILLS, BYE, GIMME, PLEASE My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes

Im sure I wasnt alone in thinking that at least one of the groups today was about sports. This hunch was made even stronger by the fact that the LIONS
and TIGERS are both Detroit teams.

The Lion we were looking for, though, was the cowardly one that leaps into
the path of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz as they fret about the existence of "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!"

NSYNC and boy bands in general are a bit of a musical blindspot for me, so I missed BYE in the song titles, using a mistake on USE (although on reflection Use Use Use Your Imagination by Gorgon City would be a little obscure).
