The answers to today's Connections, game #920, are YELLOW: HUMAN-POWERED WATERCRAFT DUGOUT, KAYAK, RAFT, SHELL GREEN: FLUSH EVEN, FLAT, LEVEL, PLANE BLUE: HONDA MODELS ACCORD, CIVIC, ODYSSEY, PILOT PURPLE: BIBLICAL FIGURES

Connections often runs in parallel with other NYT games and so it proved
today with the group FLUSH, which fitted nicely with todays Strands theme.

From my first sight of todays tiles I was convinced that there was a group of HONDA MODELS due to the two I knew ACCORD and CIVIC but I screwed up with KAYAK (which on reflection is not a great name for a car) instead of PILOT.

After getting the yellow and green groups I finally made the plunge with the correct quartet, but Im sure there were many who got this quartet without an error. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, December 16, game #919) YELLOW: DANCES BOLERO, FOXTROT, MAMBO, QUICKSTEP GREEN: DESCENDANTS BROOD, FAMILY, OFFSPRING, POSTERITY BLUE: HITCHCOCK MOVIES LIFEBOAT, ROPE, SPELLBOUND, SUSPICION PURPLE: STARTING WITH PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS BELLHOP, CHIMERA, DRUMROLL, RATTLESNAKE 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.
