YELLOW: ACCOUNT BOOK GREEN: SEEN IN A BARN BLUE: DETECTIVES OF KID-LIT PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE 'BED' Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. Today's best Get Better At Wordle deals NYT Connections today (game #709) – the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #709, are… YELLOW: ACCOUNT BOOK LEDGER, LOG, RECORD, REGISTER LEDGER, LOG, RECORD, REGISTER GREEN: SEEN IN A BARN BALE, HORSE, PITCHFORK, TROUGH BALE, HORSE, PITCHFORK, TROUGH BLUE: DETECTIVES OF KID-LIT BROWN, DREW, HARDY, HOLMES BROWN, DREW, HARDY, HOLMES PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE 'BED' CANOPY, DAY, MURPHY, WATER My rating: Hard Hard My score: 3 mistakes After getting ACCOUNT BOOK fairly quickly I fell down a hole. First, I managed to convince myself that Tom HARDY, Christian BALE, Eddie MURPHY, and Katie HOLMES had all appeared in a film together. They haven't, but Hardy and Bale both starred in The Dark Knight Rises of course. I wasted another stab in the dark by swapping out Murphy and Holmes for BROWN and DAY without truly knowing why. Ditching this wild goose chase, I got on the right track with BALE, HORSE and PITCHFORK, but had WATER instead of TROUGH. It was then a case of basic-level deduction to find DETECTIVES OF KID-LIT I got there in the end. Phew! How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

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. READ SOURCE
