NYT Connections today (game #520) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #520, are…
- YELLOW: COMPLAIN BELLYACHE, CARP, CRAB, GRUMBLE
- GREEN: VEGETABLE UNITS CLOVE, FLORET, SPEAR, STALK
- BLUE: LAPTOP SPECS RAM, RESOLUTION, SPEED, STORAGE
- PURPLE: FEATURES OF JUSTICE PERSONIFIED BLINDFOLD, ROBE, SCALES, SWORD
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 mistake
I love the idea of VEGETABLE UNITS being a thing in the way that LAPTOP SPECS are. Maybe they should have Top Trumps cards for them or something. But anyway, that was probably the hardest of the three groups that I solved today, with my brain taking a while to realize that CLOVE, FLORET, SPEAR and STALK were all examples. Whereas I had no problem spotting RAM, RESOLUTION, SPEED and STORAGE, probably because I'm a nerd who's spent his whole life sat in front of a laptop.
I don't know that I would have solved the purple group if not by default, frankly. FEATURES OF JUSTICE PERSONIFIED made sense once I saw it, but it's a relatively obscure reference unless you work in the legal profession or spend a lot of time looking at court buildings, right?
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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.
