The answers to today's Connections, game #649, are YELLOW: MILIEU CIRCLE, 
SCENE, SPHERE, WORLD GREEN: LUMINARY GREAT, ICON, LEGEND, LION BLUE: 
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING TOOLS COMPASS, RULER, STENCIL, T-SQUARE PURPLE: __BAR 
CHART, EXAM, MITZVAH, SOAP My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake 

A very rare Connections where I saw the Purple group well before the end. 
MITZVAH was the biggest clue but I still used up a Mistake. I knew the common 
thread was the word __BAR but stupidly I included LION as there is a UK candy 
called Lion Bar and I thought maybe it was a worldwide thing. This daft 
decision aside, I'm pleased to have completed todays puzzle. 

I almost included CIRCLE among the ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING TOOLS before 
remembering its the same thing as a COMPASS. 

In another rarity I didnt get the Yellow group at all, seeing LUMINARY first  
including LION was a stretch, but I didnt see any alternatives. 

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

GENIE, LIGHTNING, MESSAGE, SHIP 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.
