The answers to today's Connections, game #821, are YELLOW: FINISHED COMPLETE, 
DONE, OVER, THROUGH GREEN: THINGS WITH SHELLS EGG, HARD TACO, M&M, SNAIL 
BLUE: SWIG BELT, GULP, SHOT, SLUG PURPLE: __DOG BULL, LAP, UNDER, WATCH My 
rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

As someone who consumes an extraordinary amount of EGGs and M&Ms  although 
mainly M&Ms  the green group was an easy starter to what turned out to be 
quite an easy game. 

OVER, UNDER and THROUGH were the only possible words that could trip anyone 
up  and I did briefly think that the childrens book Were Going On A Bear Hunt 
could be a connection, thanks to its repeated decisions over whether to go 
under, over or through a succession of obstacles. 

My only disappointment today was that I didnt commit to the purple group and 
opted for the easier SWIG instead. Its not often that the hardest group is 
this gettable. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, September 8, game 
#820) YELLOW: NONSENSE BALONEY, BULL, BUNK, RUBBISH GREEN: INCREASE, WITH 
"UP" CRANK, HIKE, JACK, RAISE BLUE: FICTIONAL SPIES ARCHER, HUNT, PEEL, 
POWERS PURPLE: CAT___ FISH, NAP, TAIL, WALK 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.
