The answers to today's Connections, game #937, are YELLOW: ARMY RANKS
CAPTAIN, GENERAL, MAJOR, PRIVATE GREEN: LEGWEAR IN THE SINGULAR JEAN, JOGGER, OVERALL, SLACK BLUE: RIHANNA #1 HITS DIAMONDS, SOS, UMBRELLA, WORK PURPLE: WET_____ BAR, BLANKET, NURSE, WILLY My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake

I know that she is happy building her cosmetic and fashion empires, and becoming one of the wealthiest business tycoons in the world, but I miss Rihanna being a pop star. She was excellent at it.

That said, I am ashamed I completely missed all the RIHANNA #1 HITS I blame her absence from the radio for the past decade.

Instead, I managed to fumble together the purple group, although I only had BLANKET and NURSE to go on, I guessed my way to success after initially thinking wet WORK was a thing. Maybe its what they call it if your job is an UMBRELLA tester? Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, January 2, game #936) YELLOW: WRITE JOT, LOG, NOTE, RECORD GREEN: SHTICK BIT, GAG, NUMBER, ROUTINE BLUE: BENCHMARK BAR, EXAMPLE, METRIC, STANDARD PURPLE: VEGETABLES MINUS STARTING LETTER ALE, EEK, HIVE, QUASH 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.
