The answers to today's Connections, game #930, are YELLOW: AIRLINE CLASSES BUSINESS, ECONOMY, FIRST, PREMIUM BLUE: VOCATION CALLING, CRAFT, LINE, TRADE GREEN: ATTRIBUTE CITE, CREDIT, NAME, REFERENCE PURPLE: ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES DECIDER, NAMESAKE, REPORT, VILLAGER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

Im slightly peeved that I didnt get the purple group ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES as I saw the sake in NAMESAKE and cider in DECIDER but somehow missed spotting lager in VILLAGER and port in REPORT. A lesson to be more vigilant.

Not that it mattered, as todays game was something of a breeze.

The VOCATION group made me think of that phrase do a job you love and youll never have to work a day in your life, something I wholeheartedly disagree with.

Although doing something you like is easier it still takes dedication and
toil to succeed in any job. Its notions like this that lead to journalists
and nurses being underpaid while management consultants and dictators earn a fortune. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, December 26, game #929) YELLOW: CALIFORNIA-BASED CHARACTER TROPES MOVIE EXEC, SURFER, TECH BRO,

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.
