The answers to today's Connections, game #781, are YELLOW: FIRST___ AID, 
LADY, NATIONS, RESPONDER GREEN: SECOND___ COMING, FIDDLE, GUESS, NATURE BLUE: 
THIRD___ EYE, PARTY, RAIL, ROCK PURPLE: LAST___ LAUGH, RESORT, STRAW, SUPPER 
My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake 

Im annoyed that I didnt get todays answers in the correct order, but it wasnt 
until I got the purple group that I realized this was one of Connections 
experimental days. 

My mistake came in putting PARTY instead of STRAW into the LAST ____ group. 
At this stage I was still thinking this this was a regular game and thought 
the phrase was final straw and that "Last Party" sounded like it could be a 
film or a book. 

Beyond this I struggled with FIRST ____. I had AID, LADY and RESPONDER locked 
in and then finally thought of adding NATIONS to complete the set.

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.
