The answers to today's Connections, game #510, are YELLOW: SEEN IN A KITCHEN COUNTER, FRIDGE, RANGE, SINK GREEN: GROUP OF ADVISORS BOARD, CABINET,
COUNCIL, PANEL BLUE: CORE EXERCISES BOAT, CRUNCH, MOUNTAIN CLIMBER, PLANK PURPLE: KINDS OF EARRINGS CHANDELIER, DROP, HOOP, STUD My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect

This was another day where I solved purple relatively early and it's just as well that I did, as the chance of my completing blue was only slightly above zero. That's because blue was CORE EXERCISES, featuring BOAT, CRUNCH,
MOUNTAIN CLIMBER and PLANK, a subject about which I have almost no knowledge and absolutely no interest. I do know what a CRUNCH and a PLANK are, and did consider that one answer might involves those exercises, but had no idea what the other two would be, and even once I saw them I was still none the wiser
as to what a BOAT or a MOUNTAIN CLIMBER actually involves.

With the latter I instead initially thought it might go with CHANDELIER as part of a 'things that hang' group, but I was on the wrong track there. Instead, CHANDELIER went with HOOP, DROP and STUD to form the purple KINDS OF EARRINGS group, which I was pleased to solve.

Yellow and green were theoretically easier, as you'd expect them to be, but
it took me a while to separate them. I figured that SEEN IN A KITCHEN would
be one, but as well as COUNTER, FRIDGE, RANGE, SINK the eventual answers I could have included CABINET, so waited until I'd solved a few more before tackling it. My patience paid off and I completed today's Connections with no mistakes (for once).

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.

What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups? YELLOW: TELLING OF EVENTS GREEN: SECRETED BY TREES BLUE: THINGS ON STICKS PURPLE: BLACK OR RED

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #531) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #531, are YELLOW: TELLING OF EVENTS ACCOUNT, CHRONICLE, DESCRIPTION, STORY GREEN: SECRETED BY TREES GUM, LATEX, RESIN, SAP BLUE: THINGS ON STICKS BALL-IN-CUP, CORN DOG, COTTON SWAB,
LOLLIPOP PURPLE: BLACK OR RED BALANCE SHEET, CHECKERS, LICORICE, ROULETTE My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

This was a surprisingly easy Connections game, given that when I first looked at it I was completely nonplussed. None of the words seemed remotely related, although in hindsight I should have spotted yellow TELLING OF EVENTS right away, given that it's a simple collection of synonyms. As it was, that was
the group I solved by default without even needing to think about it,
although frankly I would have got it myself by that stage anyway.

The key here was in getting blue, THINGS ON STICKS, first. Blue is supposedly the second most difficult of the four, and on the days when I get that early
I tend to fly through the puzzle without too many issues. And so it was here, with BALL-IN-CUP, CORN DOG, COTTON SWAB and LOLLIPOP relatively obvious examples of stick-based things once I thought about it a little.

I did make one mistake on green, SECRETED BY TREES, because I was tripped up by LICORICE. This is of course a root of some kind (I'm no expert), so sort
of tree-related, but not secreted by them. The one I needed was LATEX, which
I thought was a human-made thing but which is (I presume) based on rubber.
The others were GUM, RESIN and SAP, which were more obvious. LICORICE instead went with the rather fun purple group, BLACK OR RED, although I don't know if it strictly belongs there, given that you can get licorice in all kinds of colors, right? And what about the ones that have a kind of multicolored sandwich with pink and yellow? Anyway, it was obvious enough by that stage,
so I notched my streak up to the heady heights of two. Hurrah!
