The answers to today's Connections, game #693, are YELLOW: QUALITIES OF 
OVERCOOKED MEAT CHEWY, DRY, STRINGY, TOUGH GREEN: PLAY SOME ELECTRIC GUITAR 
JAM, NOODLE, SHRED, SOLO BLUE: INGREDIENTS IN BUBBLE TEA BOBA, MILK, SUGAR, 
TEA PURPLE: PLANETS/ DWARF PLANET WITH FIRST LETTER CHANGED BLUTO, CARS, 
DARTH, GENUS My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake 

Im not sure I would describe CHEWY, DRY, STRINGY, and TOUGH as QUALITIES, but 
it was thinking about eating something unpleasant that led me to linking them 
together. It just wasnt OVERCOOKED MEAT that I had in mind. 

I used to work in the meat department at a large supermarket and it was the 
animals I worked alongside that put me off meat for 15 years, rather than the 
thought of erm, eating animals. 

Lab-grown meat, untouched by humans and farmed by robots, cannot arrive 
quickly enough as far as Im concerned. 

My mistake came in thinking that we were looking for the elements of a 
classic English teatime, rather than the INGREDIENTS IN A BUBBLE TEA  so I 
had JAM (like one spreads on ones scones) instead of BOBA. 

Having eliminated this, I was able to put another meaning of jam, along with 
some other things people who enjoy butchering music like doing with their 
electric guitars.

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.
