The answers to today's Connections, game #885, are YELLOW: SPORTS GOLF, JUDO, 
POLO, SUMO GREEN: DOOFUS BOZO, DODO, DOPE, YO-YO BLUE: ACRONYMS BOGO, FOMO, 
GOAT, YOLO PURPLE: SPANISH WORDS COMO, LOCO, POCO, ROJO My rating: Hard My 
score: 2 mistakes 

These types of Connections, like this four-letter extravaganza, always 
discombobulate my thinking, so Im actually thrilled to have made it through 
it with only two mistakes. 

My first was trying to find a fourth acronym to go with the ones I knew: 
GOAT, FOMO, and YOLO. I guessed COMO first and then BOGO  as I figured it was 
a variant of BOGOF, or buy one get one free, which indeed it is  just without 
the 'free' part. 

My next error was one that Ive made before and that was thinking that POLO 
and GOLF were the start of a group of cars made by Volkswagen. They are, but 
my guesses of POCO and LOCO are not  the latter, of course, being an acronym 
for Loser of Connections Often. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, 
November 11, game #884) YELLOW: MAKEUP BLUSH, FOUNDATION, HIGHLIGHTER, POWDER 
GREEN: BREADTH EXTENT, RANGE, SCALE, SCOPE BLUE: OBJECT USED FOR SUPPORT 
BASE, HOLDER, REST, STAND PURPLE: ICONS ON AN IPHONE COMPASS, ENVELOPE, MUSIC 
NOTES, SPEECH BUBBLE 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.
