one isn't too tricky, but there are some hints below if you need them. 

What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of 
course. I've also got daily Wordle hints and answers , Strands hints and

The answers to today's Connections, game #386, are YELLOW: SHOW THE WAY 
DIRECT, GUIDE, LEAD, USHER GREEN: SCHEME CON, HUSTLE, RACKET, STING BLUE: 
SEEN ON A U.S. DOLLAR BILL EAGLE, PYRAMID, SEAL, WASHINGTON PURPLE: FIRST 
WORDS OF CANADIAN PROVINCES/TERRITORIES BRITISH, NORTHWEST, NOVA, PRINCE My 
rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake 

I made one error here, but on reflection this isn't too bad as Connections 
puzzles go. My mistake was around what I thought was single-name musicians: 
STING, USHER, PRINCE, SEAL. However, all four actually belonged in different 
groups, so that was some (probably deliberate) misdirection by the NYT. 

I ultimately solved the four groups in difficulty order, with DIRECT, GUIDE, 
LEAD and USHER the first answer I got, followed by the green 'SCHEME' 
connection. With the two more difficult groups left, I focused on the US 
DOLLAR BILL angle, because I could see three of them: EAGLE, WASHINGTON and 
PYRAMID. I couldn't come up with a fourth, though, until I stopped thinking 
so logically and realized that SEAL wasn't referring to the cute mammal. 
D'oh!

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.
