The answers to today's Connections, game #927, are…
- YELLOW: SLANG FOR MONEY BACON, BREAD, CHEESE, PAPER
- GREEN: MASTICATE BITE, CHAMP, CHEW, MUNCH
- BLUE: FISH CHAR, POLLOCK, SOLE, TANG
- PURPLE: WAYS TO VOCALIZE MUSICALLY PLUS A LETTER HUMP, RAPT, SINGE, WHISTLER
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
If I had been confident about CHAR I would have gone for that group first, but I had to leave it until the options were minimized.
Instead, it was noticing rap in RAPT and sing in SINGE that made me examine each tile to see if they were hiding any other WAYS TO VOCALIZE MUSICALLY PLUS A LETTER – not that I originally spotted the “plus a letter” element.
Getting this purple group first has made my Christmas Eve. Hope you did too.

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.
