FULL STORY
======================================================================

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 
answers articles if you need help for those too, while Marc's Wordle today 
page covers the original viral word game.

The answers to today's Connections, game #590, are YELLOW: PUTDOWN BARB, 
CRACK, DIG, SLIGHT GREEN: SMALL LIKENESS DOLL, FIGURE, MINIATURE, MODEL BLUE: 
USED TO CLEAR SNOW PLOW, SALT, SAND, SHOVEL PURPLE: DOCTORS IN POP CULTURE 
NO, OCTOPUS, PEPPER, WHO My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

The second I cast eyes upon WHO and NO I knew that we were looking for 
DOCTORS IN POP CULTURE. PEPPER was an easy spot (easier than drinking it, 
anyway) but the fourth was trickier, not being a fan of the whole Marvel 
multiverse  but OCTOPUS sort of sounded like a villain of some kind. 

Having got the Purple group first I thought that would make the Yellow group 
easier to solve; I came close to completing THINGS TO CLEAR SNOW, but instead 
found all four PUTDOWN words and the green SMALL LIKENESS quartet. 

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT 
Connections answers (Monday, 20 January, game #589) YELLOW: TAKE ON, AS A

CROOK, ELBOW PURPLE: SHEET BALANCE, CHEAT, COOKIE, FITTED BLUE: ASSOCIATED 
WITH POPEYE ANCHOR, FOREARM, PIPE, SPINACH 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.
