The answers to today's Connections, game #482, are YELLOW: STEAK CUTS FILET, 
HANGER, SKIRT, T-BONE GREEN: KINDS OF UNDERWEAR BIKINI, G-STRING, HIPSTER, 
THONG BLUE: INVOLVED IN A DENTIST VISIT DRILL, SINK, TOOTHBRUSH, X-RAY 
PURPLE: BRANDS THAT HAVE BECOME GENERIC TERMS CHAPSTICK, JACUZZI, Q-TIP, 
XEROX My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes 

Phew! I cut this one close, losing all three guesses before I'd solved a 
single connection, but managing to complete the game with no further 
mistakes. And it is undeniably a hard one. Even yellow  supposedly the 
easiest group  featured four answers of which I only knew two. The connection 
was STEAK CUTS, and I got FILET and T-BONE, but hadn't really heard of  
HANGER and was only vaguely aware of SKIRT. Ditto KINDS OF UNDERWEAR  BIKINI, 
G-STRING and THONG were OK, but I do not really know what a HIPSTER is. 

Fortunately I managed to get blue and purple first, after a lot of thought, 
and scraped home with no room for further error.

DUE 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.
