The answers to today's Connections, game #941, are YELLOW: DOPPELGNGER CLONE, DOUBLE, MIRROR, RINGER GREEN: PORTION CONCERN, INTEREST, SHARE, STAKE BLUE: COMMON FLAG SYMBOLS CRESCENT, CROSS, STAR, STRIPE PURPLE: PRESSED USING A PRESS CIDER, GARLIC, TROUSERS, WINE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I am always shocked when I get the purple/hardest group first, but whats more surprising is when I completely overlook the yellow/easiest group.

GARLIC and TROUSERS were the pair that helped me get PRESSED USING A PRESS,
as I always found the inclusion of a trouser press in hotel rooms quite amusing for some unfathomable reason.

At the beginning, I very nearly made a mistake by connecting GARLIC, STAKE
and CROSS, as they are all ways to deter a vampire, but I resisted after failing to find a fourth tile.

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.
