NYT Connections today (game #644) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #644, are...

YELLOW: BUNCH CLUSTER, COLLECTION, CONSTELLATION, GROUP GREEN: ENDING WITH SILENT "T" BALLET, DEBUT, RAPPORT, TAROT BLUE: SERIAL KILLER MOVIES MONSTER, PSYCHO, SEVEN, ZODIAC PURPLE: STARTING WITH CONSTELLATIONS DRACONIAN, HYDRANT, LEONARDO, LIBRARY My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake This was a Connections where you had to say some of the words out loud in order to get them. And also a cunning edition where the answer to one group (CONSTELLATION) was a word in another (BUNCH). Initially, these crossovers got me quite confused as I attempted a group with TAROT and ZODIAC and for reasons unknown but vaguely, in my addled reasoning, to do with reading the future added LEONARDO and SEVEN (Leonardo Da Vinci was a visionary whose paintings included what looks like a helicopter, the number seven has mystical properties).

Seeing BUNCH sent me on the right path, before I saw the movie link and started talking to myself. How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. YELLOW: IMPOSE, AS A PENALTY ASSESS, CHARGE, FINE, LEVY GREEN: CHECKOUT LINE IMPULSE BUYS CANDY, CHAPSTICK, CHARGING CABLE, MAGAZINE BLUE: MOVIES OF VARIOUS LENGTHS EPIC, FEATURE, FILM SERIES, SHORT PURPLE: ___ ROAD DIRT, HIGH, ROCKY, SILK 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.
