The answers to today's Connections, game #691, are YELLOW: KINDS OF CARVINGS 
BUST, RELIEF, STATUE, TORSO GREEN: PILLAR BRACE, POST, PROP, SUPPORT BLUE: 
BBQ OFFERING DOG, LINK, RIB, WING PURPLE: __NECK BOTTLE, BREAK, GOOSE, TURTLE 
My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes 

I only just made it today after suffering a bad case of one away. 

I had BUST, STATUE, and RELIEF and knew it had something to do with art but 
had no idea what the fourth could be. It was the same story with TURTLE, 
BOTTLE, and BREAK. 

The only group I had the slightest confidence in was PILLAR, but even then I 
thought the link between BRACE, SUPPORT and PROP was medical aids. 

And as for BBQ OFFERING? I am going to have to put not understanding that 
down to cultural differences. I knew that BBQ DOG was an album (and also 
something Jeremy ate in the best episode of Peep Show ) but I didnt see the 
link with, erm LINK. 

Despite these difficulties, a pleasing Connections to complete. 

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.
