Good morning! Let's play Connections, the NYT's clever word game that 
challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so 
read on if you need clues. 

What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of 
course. I've also got daily Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and

The answers to today's Connections, game #555, are YELLOW: INTREPIDITY GRIT, 
HEART, NERVE, PLUCK GREEN: ROAD ARTERY, AVENUE, DRAG, DRIVE BLUE: KINDS OF 
PAPER CONSTRUCTION, GRAPH, TISSUE, WAX PURPLE: KINDS OF TENNIS COURTS CARPET, 
CLAY, GRASS, HARD My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes 

Perhaps if we were in the thick of the tennis season I would have got there a 
bit more quickly today, but having said that CARPET does not automatically 
spring to mind when you think of tennis surfaces. Presumably tennis carpet is 
different to the shag-pile material you might find in a living room  although 
I like the idea of Sinner and Alcaraz duking it out in their slippers. 

Meanwhile, the only reason I got the Green group is because I used to have a 
friend who was always going on about going to the main DRAG on Saturday 
night. You going down the drag? hed ask relentlessly. 

I have to admit I was reluctant. Hitting the crowded bars and clubs in the 
center of town might be some peoples idea of a great night out, but Ive 
always found it a bit of a drag. Id rather watch tennis. Or play Connections.

BULB 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.
