The answers to today's Connections, game #684, are YELLOW: GUM FLAVORS 
BUBBLEGUM, CINNAMON, MENTHOL, WINTERGREEN GREEN: STARTING POINT CATALYST, 
LAUNCHPAD, SPARK, SPRINGBOARD BLUE: GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK SONGS AUTUMN 
LEAVES, SUMMERTIME, UNFORGETTABLE, WITCHCRAFT PURPLE: ___ TUBE FALLOPIAN, 
INNER, TEST, VACUUM My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

Im kicking myself today, because I could have solved the hardest purple group 
early if Id been braver. Instead, I went with all the groups I was more sure 
of. FALLOPIAN and TEST were the certainties, but INNER and VACUUM less so. 
Instead I opted for safety. 

I am still delighted to be back on a winning run though, after falling to 
pieces last week. 

Meanwhile, over in the yellow group, we had GUM FLAVORS. A few years ago, 
knowing that WINTERGREEN was one would have been obscure knowledge in the UK, 
but such has been the globalization of candy that we are all very familiar 
with Americas exotic gum tastes now. 

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

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.
