The answers to today's Connections, game #796, are YELLOW: POULTRY CUTS BREAST, TENDER, THIGH, WING GREEN: HANDLE, AS A BILL FOOT, PAY, SETTLE, TAKE CARE OF BLUE: SPLENDID BRILLIANT, CAPITAL, FINE, GRAND PURPLE: STARTS OF CULINARY NUTS CASH, HAZE, MAC, PEC My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake

The tile that read TAKE CARE OF stood out so much I honed in on finding
common words to link to it.

Im sure I wasnt the only one who did this and Im also sure I wasnt the only person to wonder about the phrase FOOT the bill. It comes from adding up a column of figures at the bottom of a page rather than anything to do with our feet.

My mistake came in thinking that CASH, CAPITAL, GRAND and TENDER were all expressions for money. I got one away but switched my attention to the far more obvious collection of POULTRY CUTS.

I love nuts, but even after the answers were revealed I struggled to think what PEC could be referring to. Are Pecan nuts culinary? I thought they were
a poor mans walnut. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, August 14, game #795) YELLOW: DERRIERE BACKSIDE, CABOOSE, SEAT, TAIL GREEN: USED TO HIT

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.
