For the first time in ages I got todays groups in order of difficulty. 
Although when I say got, none of us get the last group, do we? That happens 
by default after we switch off the brain and just click on the remaining four 
words  occasionally kidding ourselves with an of course! as if really we knew 
what the connection was before we clicked on submit. 

Todays Purple group was a great one  linking four different types of RAYS. 
Not that all AQUARIUMs have RAYS. A fact I know from my many vacations ruined 
by European weather, where a rainy day would mean a trip to the local indoor 
attractions, which usually meant queuing up to look at some crabs in a 
bucket. Happy days. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Saturday, 18

SPINE, SPUR, STICKER, THORN BLUE: INFO ON A RECORD ALBUM, ARTIST, LABEL,

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.
