Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #703) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #703, are YELLOW: ABSORB USING CAPILLARY ACTION DRAW, PULL, SUCK, WICK GREEN: GREEK PREFIXES HYPER, KILO, META, NEO BLUE: TITULAR TALKING ANIMALS OF FILM BABE, BOLT, DUMBO, TED
PURPLE: STARTING WITH SILENT LETTERS GNOME, KNEE, MNEMONIC, PSYCHE My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

Despite making no mistakes I was unsure about every group today.

With TITULAR TALKING ANIMALS OF FILM I thought that NEO sounded like that could be a character too and was uncertain if potty-mouthed TED belonged in such child-friendly company.

For ABSORB USING CAPILLARY ACTION it was suction I had in mind and picked
WICK as a total guess. And for GREEK PREFIXES, I thought we were looking for tech companies but still managed to get it right somehow.

I may have got the group STARTING WITH SILENT LETTERS, but I wasnt looking
for verbal commonalities maybe I should think of a MNEMONIC to help me to remember to look for wordplay next time.

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.
