PLAYER, N.F.L. PLAYER My rating: Hard My score: Fail Congratulations to anyone who completed today’s Connections. A round for me which bordered on the impossible. In part, my difficulty with today’s game fell down to two areas of ignorance – American sports and poetry. I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who thought we were looking for a connection to the New Zealand singer LORDE as opposed to the poet Audre Lorde. But this wasn’t too much of an issue, as I was unaware of BISHOP and POPE too. After comfortably getting the yellow group I struggled to make headway and fell into the obvious trap of trying to put together a group connected by religion and then leadership. I did manage to put together ONES CELEBRATED WITH HOLIDAYS, but with one mistake left and completely clueless I crashed out after letting a shuffle do the guessing for me. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, August 31, game #812) YELLOW: CRITICIZE HARSHLY BASH, BLAST, FLAME, ROAST GREEN: COMMON COMPONENTS OF BOARD GAMES BOARD, CARDS, DICE, PIECES BLUE: HETERONYMS AXES, BASS, COORDINATE, DOES PURPLE :___STICKS CHOP, DRUM, FIDDLE, FISH 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. NYT Connections Contributor Johnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs' eye. Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna's addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
