The answers to today's Connections, game #912, are YELLOW: BEAR IN MIND 
CONSIDER, COUNT, FACTOR, INCLUDE GREEN: STRIPED ANIMALS CLOWNFISH, HONEYBEE, 
TIGER, ZEBRA BLUE: ASSOCIATED WITH RAINBOWS DOROTHY GALE, LEPRECHAUN, PRIDE, 
UNICORN PURPLE: BEGINNING WITH NUMBER HOMOPHONES FIEVEL, FOREHEAD, TOUCAN, 
WONDER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

Knowing the surname of the lead character from Wizard of Oz was the small 
piece of general knowledge that helped me get started today  although I did 
hesitate over LEPRECHAUN, as I associate them with four leaf clovers and the 
color green more than rainbows. 

I thought what became STRIPED ANIMALS might have something to do with Pixar 
films, but I wasnt certain so left it and managed to correctly guess BEAR IN 
MIND. 

Speaking the remaining tiles out loud helped me to solve the purple group 
BEGINNING WITH NUMBER HOMOPHONES  something you can only do if you are 
playing Connections at home rather than on a train or in the office when 
youre supposed to be working. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday,

CAPITALS MINUS SECOND-TO-LAST LETTER MINK, PARS, ROE, SOFA 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.
