Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #922) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #922, are YELLOW: FINDINGS DATA, DETAILS, INFORMATION, INTELLIGENCE GREEN: DINNER OPTIONS COOK, DELIVERY, GO OUT, LEFTOVERS BLUE: U.S. CABINET DEPARTMENTS COMMERCE, EDUCATION, ENERGY, LABOR PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF PLACES TO PARK A SHIP BIRTH, DOC, PEER, WORF My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake

I could not resist putting BIRTH, LABOR, and DELIVERY together, even though there was no obvious fourth word connected to the arrival of babies. I opted for COOK with a vague idea that it might be some slang offshoot of bun in the oven.

This notion discounted, I concentrated on the DETAILS and used a little bit more INTELLIGENCE to put together the yellow and green groups.

Sounding out the remaining eight tiles I managed to arrive at HOMOPHONES OF PLACES TO PARK A SHIP a veritable triumph compared to my terrible start. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, December 18, game #921)
YELLOW: BIT OF WISHFUL THINKING DAYDREAM, FANCY, FANTASY, ILLUSION GREEN: PROTAGONIST HERO, LEAD, PRINCIPAL, STAR BLUE: COMPONENT OF AN ARTS AND CRAFTS PROJECT FELT, GLITTER, PIPE CLEANER, POMPOM PURPLE: SOCIAL _____ BUTTERFLY, MEDIA, SECURITY, WORKER 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.
