Looking for NYT Connections answers and hints? Here's all you need to know to 
solve today's game, plus my commentary on the puzzles.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

And so Connections reaches the landmark of 400 games. Will it do a Wordle and 
still be going past 1,000? Hard to say, but given its popularity it seems 
likely. Today's game is a potentially difficult one, which is to say it's 
roughly in line with the 399 before it! 

What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of 
course. I've also got daily Wordle hints and answers , Strands hints and 
answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those 
too.

The answers to today's Connections, game #400, are YELLOW: REGARD AS TRUE 
ACCEPT, BELIEVE, BUY, TRUST GREEN: FACADE BLUFF, FRONT, SHAM, SHOW BLUE: WAYS 
TO SECURE A TV BASE, BRACKET, MOUNT, STAND PURPLE: LIQUOR BOTTLE SIZES FIFTH, 
HANDLE, LITER, PINT My rating: Moderate My score: 2 mistakes 

TIL that a HANDLE of liquor is a thing  and the fact that I didn't know it 
before today explains why I needed two hints here. In my defence, this was 
the purple group, so the most difficult of the four. I didn't know that at 
the time, of course, but if I had then I probably would have left it to the 
end, rather than tackling it at the start. 

After failing twice (guessing that SHAM and then BASE, might be liquor 
measurements), I moved elsewhere and everything got a little easier. Yellow, 
'regard as true', was much more straightforward, ditto green 'facade'. By 
this point I had only eight words left, of which three were still the liquor 
sizes, and it was a simple task to extract the four that were needed for 
'ways to secure a TV base'. 

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT

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.
