The answers to today's Connections, game #700, are YELLOW: MAKE HAPPY
DELIGHT, PLEASE, SUIT, TICKLE GREEN: EVADE DODGE, DUCK, SHAKE, SKIRT BLUE: COMMON VIDEO GAME FEATURES BOSS, HEALTH, LEVEL, POWER-UP PURPLE: MOTHER ___ EARTH, GOOSE, MAY I, SUPERIOR My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

I might be missing something here (in fact I am definitely missing something here) but what on earth does MOTHER MAY I mean? That one caught me out today, which was a shame because otherwise I spotted all of the elements of the MOTHER ___ group, EARTH, GOOSE and SUPERIOR, which would have given me purple before any of the others.

As it happened I only solved that one by default, but fortunately none of the other groups were too tricky either. I got blue, COMMON VIDEO GAME FEATURES first POWER-UP and LEVEL made it too obvious then whizzed through yellow
and green without any problems. If only they were all so easy.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Saturday, May 10, game #699) YELLOW: LETTER SIGN-OFFS BEST, CHEERS, LOVE, SINCERELY GREEN: WITHOUT ABSENT, MINUS, SANS, WANTING BLUE: VIGOR BEANS, ENERGY, PEP, ZIP PURPLE: __ STRIP BACON, COMIC, LANDING, SUNSET 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.
