The answers to today's Connections, game #841, are YELLOW: KINDS OF UNDERWEAR 
BOXER, BRIEF, HIPSTER, THONG GREEN: PLAY A JOKE ON FOOL, PRANK, PUNK, TRICK 
BLUE: PARTS OF A TOILET TANK CHAIN, FLAPPER, FLOAT, HANDLE PURPLE: FIRST 
WORDS IN '70S ROCK SONG TITLES BABA, BOHEMIAN, HOTEL, STAIRWAY My rating: 
Easy My score: Perfect 

Im always surprised when I get every other group before the easiest/yellow 
foursome, especially when its something that I should have seen immediately. 

Instead the word PUNK jumped out and memories of Ashton Kutchers early-2000s 
TV show Punkd, something which automatically led me to FOOL, PRANK and TRICK. 

It was a similar story with BOHEMIAN and STAIRWAY, which I was instantly 
convinced had to be connected, making up four staples of any classic rock 
playlist  Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Baba ORiley by The Who, Hotel 
California by Eagles, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Yesterday's NYT

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.
