The answers to today's Connections, game #411, are YELLOW: BASIC DIRECTIONS 
DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, UP GREEN: ADVOCATE FOR BACK, CHAMPION, ENDORSE, SUPPORT 
BLUE: DRAWBACK CON, DING, MINUS, STRIKE PURPLE: INSTRUMENT HOMOPHONES BASE, 
LIAR, LOOT, SYMBOL My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes 

This Connections is a real mixed bag, with one very easy one and another 
that's fairly simple, but two really tough ones. Or at least that was my 
experience. I got the green and yellow ones easily enough, but simply 
couldn't make another group from the eight remaining answers and used up 
three of my four guesses trying to complete the game. 

Eventually I realized that BASE, LIAR, LOOT and SYMBOL were all homophones 
for musical instruments  it was SYMBOL that gave it away  which meant I 
solved the blue 'drawback' group by default. With hindsight maybe it wasn't 
that difficult, but DING in particular just didn't occur to me as being 
aligned in any way with CON, MINUS and STRIKE

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.
