The answers to today's Connections, game #915, are YELLOW: CONTAIN HOLD, HOUSE, KEEP, STORE GREEN: MOVE IN THE WIND BLOW, FLAP, SWAY, WAVE BLUE: VEGETABLE UNITS BULB, EAR, HEAD, SPEAR PURPLE: THINGS THAT ARE DIVIDED INTO TWELVE SEGMENTS CLOCK, FOOT, YEAR, ZODIAC My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I put VEGETABLE UNITS and THINGS THAT ARE DIVIDED INTO TWELVE SEGMENTS on the back burner while I solved the easier groups.

I was fairly sure I was on the right track, but was suffering from a crisis
of confidence. CLOCK, YEAR and ZODIAC all seemed to be linked by the number
12 but I was uncertain about FOOT only remembering afterwards that 12 inches make up a foot. D'oh!

My hesitation over VEGETABLE UNITS was BULB. I knew EAR, HEAD and SPEAR were connected to corn, lettuce and asparagus, but it wasnt until the game was
over that I finally remembered that we buy garlic in bulbs. Or, if youre lazy like me, frozen and pre-chopped. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, December 11, game #914) YELLOW: THINGS SEEN IN A YARD GNOME,

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.
