The answers to today's Connections, game #895, are YELLOW: LITTLE BIT DAB, 
DROP, SPLASH, TOUCH GREEN: SAILOR SALTY DOG, SKIPPER, SWAB, TAR BLUE: 
TROPICAL FRUITS/VEGETABLES BITTER MELON, CHAYOTE, DURIAN, SOURSOP PURPLE: 
____ DEAL BIG, PLEA, RAW, SWEETHEART My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes 

I wasted two mistakes trying to assemble the group that became LITTLE BIT. My 
first idea was that it was about applying a small amount of something  so I 
had SWAB instead of TOUCH, then I swapped that with TAR before finally seeing 
sense. 

SALTY DOG was the tile that unlocked the green group. Ive always liked that 
term: Quint (Robert Shaw) in Jaws being the epitome of one. A Salty Dog is 
the sort of person who is gnarly and beardy, half man, half woollen sweater 
and in desperate need of a bath, but whose seafaring knowledge is their 
superpower. 

The blue group I got due to DURIAN, which is the sort of fruit you eat as a 
dare (hence its nickname  vomit fruit), but Im annoyed that I didnt see 
todays very gettable purple group. Kudos if you did. Yesterday's NYT 
Connections answers (Friday, November 21, game #894) YELLOW: THINGS WORN ON 
LAPELS AWARENESS RIBBON, BOUTONNIRE, LAPEL PIN, LAVALIER GREEN: COCKTAILS

SYNONYMS FOR "EAT" BOLT CUTTER, CHOW MEIN, SCARF RING, WOLF EEL 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.
