Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT

The answers to today's Connections, game #450, are YELLOW: ABSOLVE EXCUSE, 
PARDON, SAVE, SPARE GREEN: EXCESSIVELY BEYOND, EXTRA, OVER, TOO BLUE: GLOBAL 
CURRENCIES POUND, REAL, WON, YEN PURPLE: ___HEAD ARROW, BLOCK, FORE, KNUCKLE 
My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

I very nearly went down a wrong alley here, spotting that WON, TOO and FORE 
were all homophones for numbers, and debating whether any of the others might 
fit that pattern. And then I thought maybe there was a 'ball' connection  as 
in KNUCKLE ball, SPARE ball, EXTRA ball but for once I didn't play the first 
thing I spotted and instead kept looking until I found a group that simply 
had to be correct. That was the GLOBAL CURRENCIES blue group, with POUND, 
REAL, WON and YEN, and I followed that with the toughest purple group, a 
classic blank [something] connection that this time was 'words that go before 
head'. With those two complete, the others were easy to pick off.

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.
