The answers to today's Connections, game #571, are YELLOW: PERCEIVE CATCH, 
CLOCK, NOTICE, REGISTER GREEN: CADENCE BEAT, METER, RHYTHM, TIME BLUE: ONE IN 
A GROUP OF TWELVE DONUT, INCH, JUROR, MONTH PURPLE: DOG __ DAYS, PADDLE, TAG, 
TIRED My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake 

I took a guess today that BEAT, METER, RHYTHM and TIME were a group, thinking 
that drumming was the connection and so it proved. 

Despite being slow on the uptake, I landed the Yellow group next and was 
happy to have sidestepped the TIME, CLOCK, DAYS trap. 

There was no brushing off imaginary dust from my shoulders, though, as I 
failed to see both ONE IN A GROUP OF TWELVE and DOG __ and got home through 
the sheer luck of shuffling the remain eight words until I got a quartet that 
looked kind of OK. 

When it comes to Connections Ill take any win I can get. Yesterday's NYT

PURPLE: ENDING WITH SYNONYMS FOR "PLUNGE" GATECRASH, RAINDROP, SKYDIVE, 
WATERFALL 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.
