The answers to today's Connections, game #594, are YELLOW: SCHOOL PERIODS 
CLASS, HOMEROOM, LUNCH, RECESS GREEN: FEATURES OF A SKI RESORT LIFT, LODGE, 
MOGUL, SLOPE BLUE: WORDS DERIVED FROM JAPANESE EMOJI, GINKGO, KARAOKE, TYCOON 
PURPLE: WORDS AFTER THE PREFIX "TRI-" ANGLE, CYCLE, DENT, POD My rating: Hard 
My score: 2 mistakes 

Seeing GINKGO I immediately thought one group had to be about Japan. In my 
first guess I left out KARAOKE and included MOGUL instead  my thinking is 
that it was a trick, as there was a recent news story about a town in England 
called Stockport which is claiming to be the birthplace of karaoke, rather 
than Japan. But I was wrong. Obviously 

The legend goes that a shopkeeper called Roy Brooke invented karaoke  
basically singing along to hits of the day  in the early 1990s, but it was 
stolen by some visitors from Japan, who went on to market it around the 
world. 

Karaoke is still massive in Stockport, where 12 pub teams compete against 
each other every Monday to be crowned the Karaoke Champions of Stockport. And 
that bit, at least, is a true story! 

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT

NICOTINE, ROUGH, SOUL 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.
