The answers to today's Connections, game #602, are YELLOW: DEJECTED BLUE, 
DOWN, HANGDOG, SORRY GREEN: BIRDS THAT ARE VERBS DUCK, GROUSE, HAWK, SWALLOW 
BLUE: TV COMEDY FAMILIES GRIFFIN, MUNSTER, PARTRIDGE, PICKLES PURPLE: WORDS 
AFTER "K" MART, POP, STREET, SWISS My rating: Moderate My score: 2 mistakes 

As the owner of a hangdog expression (especially when my team loses), 
gathering together a bunch of words that mean DEJECTED was a relatively easy 
task. Less so was the TV COMEDY FAMILIES, which took a mistake to find  my 
very obvious error being to include SWISS (as in Family Robinson). PICKLES 
was a guess that I would never have got otherwise, merely based on the fact 
that Ive got a friend whose surname is Pickles and I enjoy calling him Mr 
Pickles. 

BIRDS THAT ARE VERBS was my other mistake, as I initially included PARTRIDGE 
before realising the error of my random ways. 

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT

STRIKE A __ CHORD, DEAL, MATCH, POSE 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.
