The answers to today's Connections, game #538, are YELLOW: DANCE STYLES JAZZ, MODERN, SWING, TAP GREEN: STEAL LIFT, PALM, POCKET, SWIPE BLUE: PERFORM WELL ON ACE, CRUSH, NAIL, ROCK PURPLE: ___BALL PITCHES CURVE, FAST, KNUCKLE, SCREW My rating: Moderate My score: 2 mistakes

The days on which I solve purple are not all that frequent, so I was pleased to NAIL it today. Or maybe I should say to ACE it. Or CRUSH it or ROCK it. Except no, that group PERFORM WELL was the blue one that I solved by default, though I think I would have got it if I'd have needed to.

Instead, purple was ___BALL PITCHES, with CURVE, FAST, KNUCKLE and SCREW, and despite previously having complained about how regularly the NYT puts
baseball or other mainly US-only sports into Connections, somehow I got this one. Admittedly, it's among the easier purple groups; I made a couple of incorrect guesses before getting it, because SCREW didn't occur to me, but
the other three are well known and feature in my preferred sport, cricket, too.

Yellow and green, meanwhile, were both fairly easy, making this a reasonably approachable Connections game overall.

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.
