The answers to today's Connections, game #866, are YELLOW: BEST YEARS HEYDAY, 
PINNACLE, PRIME, ZENITH GREEN: THINGS YOU CAN DO TO TEXT BOLD, HIGHLIGHT, 
STRIKETHROUGH, UNDERLINE BLUE: THINGS KNOWN FOR BEING COLORFUL THINGS 
KALEIDOSCOPE, PEACOCK, RAINBOW, SUNSET PURPLE: ENDING IN ACCESSORIES 
BAYWATCH, COOTIE, HERRING, KINGPIN My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

I did momentarily think that the inclusion of BAYWATCH meant that we were 
looking for things connected to David Haselhoff, but I quickly put a 
STRIKETHROUGH on that idea and managed to also resist fudging together a 
group of streaming services (PEACOCK, PRIME, errr) 

STRIKETHROUGH is my favourite of the THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH TEXT  its good 
for jokes, good for lazy people like me and good if you want to show your 
workings (yeah, I know this is wrong okay). 

Meanwhile, I got THINGS KNOWN FOR BEING COLORFUL THINGS by thinking these 
were arch-shaped things rather than colorful. Yesterday's NYT Connections 
answers (Thursday, October 23, game #865) YELLOW: PEACHY DANDY, DUCKY, FINE, 
SWELL GREEN: WINNINGS KITTY, POT, PRIZE, PURSE BLUE: PIECES OF OLYMPIC SPORTS 
EQUIPMENT BALL, BIRDIE, PUCK, STONE PURPLE: ____BAG DOGGY, GO, MIXED, SWAG 
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.
