The answers to today's Connections, game #479, are YELLOW: PUT ON THE LINE 
BET, CHANCE, GAMBLE, RISK GREEN: USE A KITCHEN KNIFE CUBE, DICE, JULIENNE, 
SLICE BLUE: ROBERT DE NIRO FILMS CASINO, HEAT, JOKER, TAXI DRIVER PURPLE: 
DISTINCTIVE NUMBER OF ARMS (OR LACK THEREOF) OCTOPUS, SHIVA, SLOT MACHINE, 
VENUS DE MILO My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

I'm always pleased with myself when I solve the purple group early on. That's 
because it's supposedly the most difficult of the four, and even if that 
isn't always the case it is usually the one with the most interesting format, 
in that it's rarely just synonyms for another word as yellow and green often 
are. Today, purple was a really creative one  DISTINCTIVE NUMBER OF ARMS (OR 
LACK THEREOF). I focused on VENUS DE MILO, which seemed to only have a couple 
of possible connections to anything: it's a statue, a work of art, and a 
figure without arms. Looking at the board, I spotted OCTOPUS and then SHIVA, 
and though it took me a while to realize that SLOT MACHINE also fitted, I was 
delighted when all four proved to be right. The other three groups were 
mundane by comparison  although I'll never not enjoy thinking about ROBERT DE 
NIRO FILMS

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.
