The answers to today's Connections, game #503, are YELLOW: FLUSTER FAZE, RATTLE, RUFFLE, THROW GREEN: SERIES OF MESSAGES CHAIN, CHAT, CONVERSATION, THREAD BLUE: PLACES TO LIE/SIT THAT MOVE CRADLE, HAMMOCK, ROCKER, SWING PURPLE: CYLINDER-SHAPED THINGS CAN, ROLLER, SILO, SPOOL My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I'm pretty sure that I could have played today's Connections for a week and never have spotted the link between SPOOL, CAN, ROLLER and SILO. Yes, they
are all CYLINDER-SHAPED THINGS but I don't think that would ever have occurred to me; the connection is just too obtuse. Then again it is the
purple group, so it's not like it was ever going to be easy.

Fortunately the other three were nowhere near as bad. I spotted blue first, guessing that CRADLE, HAMMOCK, ROCKER and SWING were all PLACES TO LIE/SIT THAT MOVE or if not quite that, then at least recognizing that they were all of a kind. Yellow and green were straightforward too, meaning my fledgling streak advanced to 10.

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.
