The answers to today’s Connections game #925 are…

- BLUE: TYPES OF CARDS BUSINESS, GREETING, MEMBERSHIP, GAMING
- PURPLE: COLORS EXCEPT THE LAST LETTER EYEBROW, CYA, PIN, WHITE
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
My mistake was putting COME instead of Eruption in what became a collection of words meaning INFLUENCE.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who mixed up words from the yellow and green groups, since they seem very similar.
But let’s not focus on that; Before my yellow-green confusion came a triumph of color. I saw CYA for the first time and initially thought we might be looking at printer ink colors, but the reality was a little simpler. Congratulations if you also joined the first purple club. Let’s tell strangers how smart we are.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created 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 is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
