The answers to today's Connections, game #842, are YELLOW: UNNATURAL, AS 
MANNERISMS AWKWARD, STIFF, STILTED, WOODEN GREEN: WORDS IN A FAMOUS TONGUE 
TWISTER CHUCK, COULD, WOOD, WOODCHUCK BLUE: CARTOON BIRDS FOGHORN, SCROOGE, 
WOODSTOCK, WOODY PURPLE: ENDING WITH NUMBER HOMOPHONES CLASSICS, CREATE, 
GUTHRIE, THEREFORE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

We had something of a wood special today. All that was missing was the actor 
Edward Woodward, the word "would" and the golfer Tiger Woods. 

Although I appreciate the nod to folk legend WOODY GUTHRIE, I managed to 
successfully avoid the numerous traps, although I did suspect that WOOD, 
COULD, WOOD and WOODCHUCK was some kind of trick rather than the four WORDS 
IN A FAMOUS TONGUE TWISTER. 

This is the third one of these I can remember featuring in Connections over 
the years  most recently we had rubber baby buggy bumper. At least I was 
familiar with this one. 

Im disappointed that I missed ENDING WITH NUMBER HOMOPHONES, but couldnt 
resist putting CARTOON BIRDS together. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers 
(Monday, September 29, game #841) YELLOW: KINDS OF UNDERWEAR BOXER, BRIEF, 
HIPSTER, THONG GREEN: PLAY A JOKE ON FOOL, PRANK, PUNK, TRICK BLUE: PARTS OF 
A TOILET TANK CHAIN, FLAPPER, FLOAT, HANDLE PURPLE: FIRST WORDS IN '70S ROCK 
SONG TITLES BABA, BOHEMIAN, HOTEL, STAIRWAY 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.
