The answers to today's Connections, game #880, are YELLOW: TEXTILE PATTERNS 
ANIMAL PRINT, HERRINGBONE, HOUNDSTOOTH, POLKA DOT GREEN: GREEN CONDIMENTS 
CHIMICHURRI, PESTO, RELISH, SALSA VERDE BLUE: THINGS WITH HOLES IN THE MIDDLE 
BAGEL, HULA HOOP, INNER TUBE, WASHER PURPLE: THINGS THAT ARE PURPLE BARNEY 
THE DINOSAUR, EGGPLANT, PEOPLE EATER, SWING STATE My rating: Easy My score: 1 
mistake 

RELISH and PESTO in the UK are not exclusively green, so I was a little 
thrown by GREEN CONDIMENTS  but it was impossible to ignore that SALSA VERDE 
and CHIMICHURRI belonged together, so I gambled. 

A similar strategy didnt pay off initially for THINGS THAT ARE PURPLE. Lost 
for the fourth tile I chose POLKA DOT, thinking perhaps that purple is the 
classic color. I guessed SWING STATE, as purple is a mix of red and blue, but 
being outside of the US this is not something I was previously aware of  
Connections is an education. 

With just eight tiles left, TEXTILE PATTERNS was easy to pick out, but Im 
annoyed that I didnt get THINGS WITH HOLES IN THE MIDDLE, seeing as it 
contains my favorite New York breakfast item. Yesterday's NYT Connections 
answers (Thursday, November 6, game #879) YELLOW: COST AMOUNT, FIGURE, PRICE, 
VALUE GREEN: WAYS TO UNLOCK A DEVICE FACE, FINGERPRINT, PASSWORD, PIN BLUE: 
PARTS OF A SHIP AFT, DECK, FORE, MAST PURPLE: FEATURES OF A CARTOON CUPID 
ARROW, BOW, DIAPER, WINGS 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.
