The answers to today's Connections, game #381, are…

  • YELLOW: ARMY RANKS CAPTAIN, GENERAL, MAJOR, PRIVATE
  • GREEN: PLACE TO PLUG SOMETHING IN JACK, OUTLET, PORT, SOCKET
  • BLUE: CONSUMER DESIRE, COLLECTIVELY APPETITE AUDIENCE DEMAND MARKET
  • PURPLE: ___ AD ATTACK, PERSONAL, POP-UP, WANT

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

This was one of those games where there was a big difference in difficulty between the groups. Yellow – the army ranks one – was really simple, and the green 'ports' one was not much harder. But blue and purple were on a different level. I don't think I ever would have got purple, the __AD one, if not by default, frankly.

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.
