The answers to today's Connections, game #390, are YELLOW: YEARN DESIRE, 
LONG, PINE, YEN GREEN: MAGAZINES FORTUNE, MAD, NATURE, O BLUE: CHARACTERS IN

GENRES BUBBLEGUM, EURO, K, POWER My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes 

Yesterday's Connections was relatively easy; today's is anything but that. 

Once again, it was short words that confused me, or in this case single 
letters: Q, M, K and O all feature here. Two of them were obvious, at least, 
with the words BOND and MONEYPENNY joining Q and M for a 007-themed group 
(blue). The yellow one wasn't too bad: this was simple synonyms for YEARN 
(DESIRE, YEN, PINE, LONG). 

However, the green group really tripped me up. I spotted that FORTUNE, NATURE 
and MAD were all magazines, but I couldn't identify the fourth. Apologies to 
Oprah Winfrey, but it never occurred to me that O magazine would be the 
fourth. I went through three alternative answers before guessing that and 
solving the puzzle with no room to spare.

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.
