The answers to today's Connections, game #473, are YELLOW: DECORATIVE EDGE 
BORDER, FRILL, FRINGE, TRIM GREEN: INCREASE, IN A WAY GROW, MOUNT, SWELL, WAX 
BLUE: SPECIFICATIONS FOR A BARTENDER DRY, NEAT, STRAIGHT, VIRGIN PURPLE: 
STRING ___ BEAN, BIKINI, CHEESE, THEORY My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

Give me a group containing CHEESE and I pretty much guarantee I will solve 
it. Doesn't matter what the connection is  if it involves cheese, I'm up for 
the challenge. And so it was today with STRING ___, the hardest purple group, 
which I got with my very first guess, spotting that CHEESE, THEORY, BEAN and 
BIKINI could all go after STRING. 

I've marked this Connections puzzle as moderate rather than easy, though, 
because despite not making any mistakes I did have to think a fair bit about 
the other three groups. Maybe I played slightly more conservatively than I 
sometimes do, but I stared and stared and stared at the board for what seemed 
like an hour (but was probably about five minutes) before spotting the yellow 
DECORATIVE EDGE group, then a little longer before getting SPECIFICATIONS FOR 
A BARTENDER.

RUN, KENTUCKY, SOAP BOX What is NYT 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.
