The answers to today's Connections, game #896, are YELLOW: LENIENT EASY, LAX, 
LOOSE, SLACK GREEN: ANIMAL HOMES BURROW, DEN, LODGE, WARREN BLUE: OLIVER 
STONE MOVIES JFK, NIXON, PLATOON, WALL STREET PURPLE: SECOND WORDS IN TITLES 
OF ABBA HITS GIMME, MIA, QUEEN, TROUPER My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake 

Even though I knew it was a trap I couldnt help myself and started off with a 
group containing JFK, LAX, MIA and DEN  thinking these abbreviation codes for 
US airports would make a great Connections category. Alas, I was mistaken. 

Instead, each of these three-letter tiles belonged to a different group. I 
should have seen JFK more quickly, but here too I almost went down a dead 
end, thinking it was a presidential grouping before I realized there were 
four OLIVER STONE MOVIES. 

I rescued some pride by getting the purple group a little early, finding a 
home for what Id initially thought was Miami International Airport.

SOURSOP PURPLE: ____ DEAL BIG, PLEA, RAW, SWEETHEART 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.
