challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so

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

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT

The answers to today's Connections, game #451, are YELLOW: VERY SMALL AMOUNT 
HINT, SHRED, TOUCH, TRACE GREEN: PUPPY PURCHASES BED, BOWL, COLLAR, CRATE 
BLUE: HELP PUT ON A PARTY CATER, HOST, PLAN, THROW PURPLE: SYMBOLS ON A 
KEYBOARD BRACE, CARET, HASH, STAR My rating: Moderate My score: Fail 

The only thing more frustrating than failing at Connections is failing at 
Connections when you already solved two of the groups. That was the situation 
I was in today: I only had eight words to choose from, and all four guesses 
remaining, so surely I'd be able to combine them into two sets? But no. 

To make matters worse, one of those groups was the yellow one, supposedly the 
easiest. But for some reason my brain wouldn't (or couldn't) assemble HINT, 
SHRED, TOUCH and TRACE into a group meaning VERY SMALL AMOUNT. Was that a big 
failing on my part? I guess so  they do all mean that, in certain contexts, 
after all  but it seems like an overly tricky answer for yellow. 

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT 
Connections answers (Tuesday, 3 September, game #450) YELLOW: ABSOLVE EXCUSE,

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.
