The answers to today's Connections, game #891, are YELLOW: FUNNY PERSON 
CLOWN, JOKER, LAUGH, RIOT GREEN: KINDS OF TOMATOES CHERRY, GRAPE, PLUM, ROMA 
BLUE: BEST ACTRESS OSCAR WINNERS BERRY, MADISON, STONE, SWANK PURPLE: ENDING 
IN SYNONYMS FOR "LOCATION" COMMONPLACE, NEEDLEPOINT, PARASITE, SUNSPOT My 
rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake 

After getting BEST ACTRESS WINNERS pretty easily, I thought that there was 
another movie-themed group that connected ROMA, JOKER, and PARASITE even 
though I couldnt really see the link between them or find a fourth film (I 
opted for CHERRY, which did turn out to be a film, although not as 
high-profile as the others). 

This dead end over I remembered a past Connections that featured FUNNY PERSON 
 turns out it was from January and although it only has JOKER in common the 
memory was enough to trigger me towards getting the yellow group. 

With eight tiles left I completely missed the locations at the end of four of 
the words, but fortunately did see KINDS OF TOMATOES including the proper 
home for CHERRY. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, November 17, 
game #890) YELLOW: "YOU BET" ABSOLUTELY, OF COURSE, OKEY-DOKE, SURE THING 
GREEN: FORBIDDEN OFF-LIMITS, PROSCRIBED, TABOO, VERBOTEN BLUE: BASKETBALL 
SHOTS ALLEY-OOP, FADEAWAY, FINGER ROLL, SLAM DUNK PURPLE: STARTING WITH 
SYNONYMS FOR "SCRAM!" GO-GETTER, LEAVENING, SCATTERGORIES, SHOO-IN 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.
