The answers to today's Connections, game #769, are YELLOW: SOURCES OF 
DRINKING WATER RAIN, SPRING, TAP, WELL GREEN: THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A 
FOOTBALL PASS, PUNT, SNAP, SPIKE BLUE: SHARP FASTENERS BRAD, NAIL, PIN, TACK 
PURPLE: STARTS OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES DON, LEO, MIC, RAP My rating: 
Hard My score: Fail 

I was at a distinct disadvantage today, knowing nothing about football (of 
the American kind) or Mutant Ninja Turtles, but that wasnt the reason why I 
crashed out. 

Like many, I am sure, seeing BRAD and LEO beside each other on the board 
immediately made me think of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio so I spent ages 
trying to find a group that was something to do with Once Upon A Time in 
Hollywood  wasting a mistake on a wild guess. 

My next three mistakes came before Id even got a single group correct. 
Thinking that I was looking for a group of things you could hammer, I 
selected NAIL, PIN, TACK and SPIKE. 

After getting one away I tried SNAP instead of spike and then, possessed by 
another one away, SPRING. Ah well, you cant win them all. Or hammer them all. 
Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, July 18 game #768) YELLOW:

EEL, GUITAR, SLIDE 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.
