The
answers
to
today’s
Connections,
game
#465,
are…

YELLOW:
GATHERING
SPOT
OUTSIDE
A
RESIDENCE
DECK,
PORCH,
STOOP,
YARD
GREEN:
LOWDOWN
DISH,
DOPE,
INFO,
SCOOP
BLUE:
KINDS
OF
REELS
BLOOPER,
DEMO,
HIGHLIGHT,
SIZZLE
PURPLE:
CARTOON
DOGS
MINUS
“Y”
DROOP,
GOOF,
LAD,
SNOOP

My
rating:
Easy
My
score:
1
mistake

Something-minus-a-letter
is
a
favorite
Connections
type
for
purple,
so
I
always
try
to
spot
it.
Solving
purple
isn’t
always
necessary,
but
these
types
are
generally
easier
to
answer
than
some
other
kinds,
because
you
don’t
need
much
specialist
knowledge
–
just
the
ability
to
add
a
letter
and
form
some
other
words.
And
so
it
was
today,
with
SNOOP(Y),
DROOP(Y),
GOOF(Y)
and
LAD(Y)
all
being
CARTOON
DOGS
MINUS
“Y”.

Completing
purple
meant
that
I
didn’t
have
to
worry
so
much
about
the
other
groups,
because
I
only
needed
two
of
the
three
(supposedly)
easier
ones.
I
got
them
in
the
form
of
KINDS
OF
REELS
(blue)
and
GATHERING
SPOT
OUTSIDE
A
RESIDENCE
(yellow),
meaning
I
kept
my
streak
for
another
day.

How
did
you
do
today?

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.
