The answers to today's Connections, game #930, are…
PURPLE: ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES DECIDER, NAMESAKE, REPORT, VILLAGER
My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect
I’m slightly peeved that I didn’t get the purple group ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES as I saw the sake in NAMESAKE and cider in DECIDER – but somehow missed spotting lager in VILLAGER and port in REPORT. A lesson to be more vigilant.
Not that it mattered, as today’s game was something of a breeze.
The VOCATION group made me think of that phrase “do a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life”, something I wholeheartedly disagree with.
Although doing something you like is easier it still takes dedication and toil to succeed in any job. It’s notions like this that lead to journalists and nurses being underpaid while management consultants and dictators earn a fortune.

What is NYT 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.
