The answers to today's Connections, game #437, are YELLOW: COVER WITH A THICK 
LAYER CAKE, COAT, PLASTER, SMEAR GREEN: THINGS THAT ARE INFLATED BALLOON, 
BASKETBALL, FLOATIE, TIRE BLUE: KINDS OF CHARTS BAR, BUBBLE, LINE, PIE 
PURPLE: CLASSIC COCKTAIL TYPES FIZZ, PUNCH, SLING, SOUR My rating: Hard My 
score: Fail 

This was, rather shamefully, a second Connections fail in only a couple of 
days for me. It is a difficult one, I think, but not impossible. 

That said, I feel I was at a disadvantage compared to some people. FLOATIE is 
not a term I've ever heard used before, and I think that might be a popular 
term in the US that isn't used in the UK, where I'm from. Plus, TIRE is 
spelled TYRE in the UK, so I only saw that as 'getting tired' rather than 
'the thing that goes on wheels) and didn't think for it to go with other 
inflatables. 

But even so, I should have solved this, especially given that I did get the 
blue group, but this was obviously another off day for me. Hope it was better 
for you.

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.
