The answers to today's Connections, game #720, are YELLOW: ALCOVE CAVITY, HOLLOW, NOOK, RECESS GREEN: WAYS TO RECOGNIZE ACHIEVEMENT CERTIFICATE, MEDAL, PLAQUE, TROPHY BLUE: VERBS IN BREADMAKING FERMENT, PROOF, REST, RISE PURPLE: THINGS YOU CAN BLOW BUBBLE, FUSE, KISS, RASPBERRY My rating: Moderate My score: 2 mistakes

I got the purple group today by thinking it was something to do with music legend Prince, rather than THINGS YOU CAN BLOW. I was so determined that I made two mistakes before I finally fluked together a correct group of four.

Fortunately, by this point Id already guessed the words that made up ALCOVE and WAYS TO RECOGNIZE ACHIEVEMENT, so the pool of words was limited.

My thinking was that RASPBERRY (as in Raspberry Beret) and KISS were both Prince songs and, well he was so prolific he must have a song with BUBBLE in the title (he didnt) or FUSE (he didnt). All, quite a stretch, especially as the actual answer was much easier.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, May 30, game #719) YELLOW: RODS BAT, CLUB,

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.
