The answers to today's Connections, game #401, are YELLOW: IN A BAD MOOD 
CROSS, SHORT, SURLY, TESTY GREEN: EXPERIMENTAL EXPLORATORY, PILOT, 
PRELIMINARY, TRIAL BLUE: STARTS OF BROADWAY MUSICALS FIDDLER, JERSEY, KINKY, 
MERRILY PURPLE: PETER ___ PAN, PARKER, PIPER, RABBIT My rating: Moderate My 
score: Perfect 

I got a bit hung up on the Y-ending words today, expecting some of them to go 
together but being unable to find a connection. As it turns out, three of 
them did form a group  unfortunately that group was 'Broadway musicals', 
which is about the least likely connection for me to ever find. Seriously, 
I'd have (a lot) more chance of getting a connection concerning particle 
physics than this. 

Anyway, that was the blue group, and it became the one that I had to solve by 
default. It took me a while to get going, but once I established that 
EXPLORATORY, PILOT, PRELIMINARY and TRIAL all meant the same thing, I was 
underway. Next I spotted the purple group of 'Peter something', leaving only 
the SHORT, CROSS, SURLY and TESTY yellow group to finish with. 

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT

HANDLE, LITER, PINT 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.
