hint

A good strategy for Connections is (obviously) to focus on any words that
have limited possible links to others. By which I mean that some have
multiple possible connections; a word such as STOCK might go before MARKET or after BEEF; it might be grouped with other words that mean LINEAGE or BLOOD, or with words that mean TRUST. Or, as here, it might mean EQUIP and be
grouped with PROVISION, OUTFIT and FURNISH.

CANT, on the other hand, is a relatively uncommon word that only really has a couple of very limited connections to anything. And by staring at it for a while it occurred to me that one of those was that it lacked an apostrophe. Once I considered that, I spotted SHELL (SHE'LL), WERE (WE'RE) and ID (I'D) and solved the purple group. The others followed fairly quickly after that toughest group was found.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, 3 November, game #511) YELLOW: HEARTWARMING MOVING, SWEET, TENDER, TOUCHING GREEN: SNEAKING SUSPICION FEELING, HUNCH, IMPRESSION, SENSE BLUE: LEGAL SESSION HEARING, INQUIRY, PROCEEDING, TRIAL PURPLE: EASY ___ CHAIR, LISTENING, MONEY, STREET 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.
