Connections reaches number 600 with a classic set of humour, grammar,
wordplay and nagging questions about the fourth word.
Just as there are 40 different words for snow in Finnish, there are dozens
for nose in English particularly for the larger nozzle, of which SCHNOZZ (derived from the Yiddish word shnoits, for snout) is one of the finest.
Naturally, with BEAK, BUTTER and BREAST in the starting grid, I momentarily thought chicken was one link. Meanwhile, TRUNK could have found itself in the nose list as well as STORAGE CONTAINERS.
My fourth word issue today is SNOB. Its included in a list that includes CONNOISSEUR and EXPERT, which is interesting as its usually a word thats associated with uppity people who dismiss things for frivolous reasons (often price or reputation). Being classified as ONES WITH DISCERNING TASTE is exactly how a snob would justify themselves. Perhaps including Scholar, Buff, or Devotee instead would have made things too easy. Or maybe those words
arent good enough for 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.
