BORG, GRAF, KING, SINNER My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake 

Yesterday I was excited at the prospect of getting all four groups in 
difficulty order for the third day in a row. Sadly, I failed in my mission. 

After getting the yellow and green groups fairly quickly I was left with 16 
words and only one idea of what the connection could be  Star Trek . 

Showing my utter lack of knowledge on this topic, I thought that we were 
looking for species that featured in the long-running franchise, but knowing 
only VULCAN this was a pointless (no pun intended) task. 

Instead, I saw the tennis players. BORG had been one of my Star Trek 
possibilities but I soon remembered Bjorn, the excellent Fila-attired 1970s 
superstar whose life took an unexpected detour into the world of underwear 
design. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, August 6, game #787) 
YELLOW: ACCESSORY WITH A POINTY FASTENER BADGE, BROOCH, BUTTON, PIN GREEN:

PURPLE: MUSCLE NICKNAMES PLUS "S" SHAMMY, SPEC, SQUAD, STRAP 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.
