The answers to today's Connections, game #844, are YELLOW: DOG COMMANDS COME, 
DOWN, HEEL, STAY GREEN: DESERVED DUE, FAIR, JUST, RIGHT BLUE: SITUATED LEFT, 
PLACED, PUT, SET PURPLE: BEST ANIMATED FEATURE OSCAR WINNERS BRAVE, FLOW, 
FROZEN, UP My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes 

After crashing out yesterday I needed a good round to rebuild my confidence 
and although I made a far-from-faultless attempt at todays four groups I can 
take some pride from actually completing it and getting the purple group 
early. 

My mistakes came after getting the yellow and green groups and getting hooked 
into thinking that FROZEN and SET belonged in a group that was about being 
locked in place. With PLACED and LEFT giving me one away I tried again before 
moving on. 

Eventually I saw the error of my ways and saw the connection between FROZEN, 
UP and BRAVE and took a chance with FLOW. The streak rebuild begins.

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.
