The answers to today's Connections, game #518, are YELLOW: BARREL-SHAPED CONTAINER CASK, CYLINDER, DRUM, TANK GREEN: GUIDE PILOT, SHEPHERD, STEER, USHER BLUE: N.F.L. TEAM MEMBER COWBOY, JET, RAM, RAVEN PURPLE: THINGS THAT SWING GOLFER, PENDULUM, SALOON DOORS, SWING My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I can't help thinking it's a bit of a cop out for the NYT to include the word SWING in a group where the answer is, um, SWING. I mean come on! This was the purple group, too, so supposedly the hardest of the four.

Admittedly, the others were easier still. Blue the second toughest was N.F.L. TEAM MEMBER, and even a UK soccer/cricket fan such as myself could
spot that COWBOY, JET, RAM and RAVEN were the answers. Green, meanwhile, was simply four things that were all BARREL-SHAPED CONTAINERs: CASK, CYLINDER, DRUM and TANK. My finger hovered over the submit button with that one,
because I thought it couldn't possibly be as easy as that. But it was, and
for once I completed this game with no trauma.

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.
