The answers to today's Connections, game #477, are YELLOW: COOK WITH HEAT AND 
WATER BLANCH, BOIL, POACH, STEAM GREEN: COMMON PERFUME INGREDIENTS AMBERGRIS, 
MUSK, ROSE, VANILLA BLUE: CHARACTERS WITH PET DOGS CHARLIE, DOROTHY, SHAGGY, 
WALLACE PURPLE: CAPITAL CITY HOMOPHONES KETO, ROAM, SOPHIA, SOUL My rating: 
Hard My score: Fail 

This is my first Connections fail in a month, but I'm not devastated  because 
this is a tough one. That said, I'm annoyed that I didn't solve blue or 
purple, because once I saw the answers I realized that I knew them both and 
could have got them; I'm less bothered when the answer is revealed and I 
think 'Well, fine, I had no idea about that!' 

This wasn't the case here: I've heard of all four CAPITAL CITY HOMOPHONES  
KETO (Quito), ROAM (Rome), SOPHIA (Sofia), SOUL (Seoul) and have watched all 
four shows/movies for the CHARACTERS WITH PET DOGS group  CHARLIE (Brown, 
Snoopy), DOROTHY (Wizard of Oz, Toto), SHAGGY (Scooby Doo), WALLACE (and 
Gromit). Clever stuff by the NYT, but a little too clever for me today.

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.
