The answers to today's Connections, game #507, are YELLOW: UPSWING BOOM,
RISE, SPIKE, SURGE GREEN: THINGS WITH WHEELS DOLLY, ROLLERBLADE, SKATEBOARD, WAGON BLUE: KINDS OF TAPE DUCT, ELECTRICAL, GAFFER, PACKING PURPLE: RETAIL CHAINS WITH A LETTER CHANGED BEST BOY, IDEA, KRONER, STABLES My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake

I was at a distinct disadvantage today compared to some people, because I don't live in the United States and have never heard of KROGER, and therefore didn't recognize that it was part of the RETAIL CHAINS WITH A LETTER CHANGED group, with its equivalent word being KRONER. If I had known that then maybe I'd have placed it with BEST BOY (BEST BUY), IDEA (IKEA) and STABLES
(STAPLES) in what was undoubtedly a very tough purple group today.

The others were not exactly easy either, but I did solve them all after a
fair bit of thought. Blue KINDS OF TAPE was the first I got and was
arguably simpler than UPSWING (yellow). Green was somewhere in-between I
knew that ROLLERBLADE and SKATEBOARD probably went together, but initially
put DOLLY with GAFFER, BEST BOY and BOOM as things that you get on a film
set. This was wrong, but I persevered and got the connection eventually, without needing to worry about that dastardly purple.

TOWN 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.
