The answers to today's Connections, game #794, are YELLOW: CAPTIVATE CHARM, 
ENTRANCE, RIVET, THRILL GREEN: EXCERPT CLIP, EXTRACT, PASSAGE, QUOTE BLUE: 
MEMBER OF A GIRL GROUP BANGLE, CHICK, GO-GO, SUPREME PURPLE: STAR___ BOARD, 
FISH, GATE, STRUCK My rating: Hard My score: Perfect 

Im classifying todays round as tricky, because although I didnt make any 
mistakes I did come pretty close to trying to make one group made up of 
jewelry items (CHARM, CLIP, BANGLE) and another about access points (GATE, 
ENTRANCE, PASSAGE). 

Thankfully, I didnt fall for either of these traps  mainly because I 
remembered to consider the less obvious meanings of words; RIVET was the last 
one I put in the CAPTIVATE group, as I was locked into thinking it was a 
fastener. 

I was really pleased to get MEMBER OF A GIRL GROUP, as Id puzzled for a while 
over what GO-GO could refer to before remembering the group the Go-Gos and 
their brilliant song Our Lips Are Sealed . Yesterday's 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.
