The answers to today's Connections, game #458, are YELLOW: LARGE AMOUNT OF 
MONEY BUNDLE, FORTUNE, MINT, PILE GREEN: BITS OF WISDOM KERNEL, NUGGET, 
PEARL, TIDBIT BLUE: FEATURED IN JURASSIC PARK AMBER, DINOSAUR, MOSQUITO, 
PALEONTOLOGIST PURPLE: THINGS THAT ARE PURPLE AMETHYST, EGGPLANT, GRIMACE, 
LAVENDER My rating: Easy My score: 2 mistakes 

My winning run in Connections  that's six in a row after multiple failures 
over the previous few weeks. Maybe the game's got easier; maybe I've got 
better; maybe it's just luck! 

Whatever the case, I didn't find today's Connections too troubling. The blue 
JURASSIC PARK group stood out immediately, even 30 years on from the original 
film's debut. Yellow (LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY) and green (BITS OF WISDOM) were 
also pretty straightforward, once I'd thought about it. I wouldn't have got 
purple if not by default, though  three were obvious, but I don't know what 
GRIMACE refers to, so would never had got that. (Apparently it's a McDonald's 
thing  but I've never eaten there, so wouldn't know) 

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

CHECKERS, DECK OF CARDS, MONARCHY, NHL 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.
