After a run of difficult games, this edition felt relatively easy  so long as 
you avoided getting waylaid by attempting to put together a color group. 

Fortunately, I connected the basic yellow group quickly  quite possibly 
because all four words describe my taste in T-shirts, and my dislike of 
anything involving a backprint (what is the point, please?) 

Ill be honest, I didnt put together the blue group because I thought it would 
be SPECS ON CONSUMER PACKAGING, just that they all seemed like measurements. 
Its always a good Connections day when getting it wrong is still getting it 
right. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, August 10, game #791)

CHEMISE, TRIGLYCERIDE 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.
