The answers to today's Connections, game #828, are YELLOW: KEEP TABS ON 
FOLLOW, MONITOR, TRACK, WATCH GREEN: ONE IN A DOZEN DONUT, JUROR, MONTH, ROSE 
BLUE: THINGS WITH INK PEN, PRINTER, SQUID, TATTOO MACHINE PURPLE: ___RABBIT 
ROGER, TRIX, VELVETEEN, WHITE My rating: Hard My score: Perfect 

This was one of my favorite types of Connections games  one in which you are 
faced with 16 words that appear to make little sense together, before each 
group reveals itself. 

Typically, for me, this means getting each foursome in difficulty order, 
something I find oddly pleasing. 

ONE IN A DOZEN should have been my most-difficult-to-get group, but having 
recently been a JUROR the number 12 popped straight out at me. 

But really, in terms of real experiences informing Connections gameplay, I 
should have gotten THINGS WITH INK sooner as a) I love SQUID (the band and 
the marine animal) and b) I am involved in an ongoing war of attrition with 
my PRINTER due to its inability to actually print anything, especially at 
moments when I desperately need it to work. 

Truly, is there a more frustrating technology than the printer? Yesterday's

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.
