The answers to today's Connections, game #926, are YELLOW: VULNERABILITY ACHILLES' HEEL, DOWNFALL, KRYPTONITE, SOFT SPOT GREEN: FREUDIAN CONCEPTS FIXATION, OEDIPUS COMPLEX, SUPEREGO, UNCONSCIOUS BLUE: CHARACTERS IN CAPES DARTH VADER, DRACULA, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, SUPERMAN PURPLE: STARTING WITH SLANG FOR SAUSAGE BRATZ, DOGMA, FRANKENSTEIN, LINKLATER My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake

I am sure there were plenty of sausage heads (is that the right term?) who spotted the purple group immediately. Alas, I was not among them.

Instead, my focus was on psychology and what became FREUDIAN CONCEPTS. My mistake came about because I thought that ACHILLES HEEL belonged alongside OEDIPUS COMPLEX its all Greek to me.

From here it was an easy home run, with CHARACTERS IN CAPES being a pleasing group of heroes and villains.

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.
