The answers to today's Connections, game #433, are YELLOW: SPOKEN 
COMMUNICATION DIALECT, LANGUAGE, SPEECH, TONGUE GREEN: CANOODLE FRENCH, KISS, 
MAKE OUT, NECK BLUE: FIRST AID KIT ITEMS BANDAGE, DRESSING, SCISSORS, TAPE 
PURPLE: HOUSE STYLES COTTAGE, CRAFTSMAN, PRAIRIE, RANCH My rating: Easy My 
score: Perfect 

This is an easy one even by recent Connections standards (which have tended 
more towards the simpler side of things anyway). For proof, there's the fact 
that I solved purple, supposedly the most difficult one, first  although I 
did have some help here. That's because house styles were also the subject of 
another NYT word game, Strands, just a few days ago  so CRAFTSMAN, COTTAGE 
and RANCH were all fresh in my mind. PRAIRIE didn't feature in that game, 
admittedly, but it wasn't too much of a mental stretch to put it together 
with the others. 

None of the other three groups were particularly difficult either, so I 
solved this fairly swifted and saved my deliberations for another day. 

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

SUN, TIDE, YO-YO 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.
