NYT Connections today — hints and answers for Wednesday, August 21 (game #437)
By Marc McLaren,

Good morning! Let's play Connections, the NYT's clever word game that challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so read on if you need clues.
This was, rather shamefully, a second Connections fail in only a couple of days for me. It is a difficult one, I think, but not impossible.
That said, I feel I was at a disadvantage compared to some people. FLOATIE is not a term I've ever heard used before, and I think that might be a popular term in the US that isn't used in the UK, where I'm from. Plus, TIRE is spelled TYRE in the UK, so I only saw that as 'getting tired' rather than 'the thing that goes on wheels) and didn't think for it to go with other inflatables.
But even so, I should have solved this, especially given that I did get the blue group, but this was obviously another off day for me. Hope it was better for you.
Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, 20 August, game #436)
YELLOW: RUSH OF WIND BLOW, DRAFT, GUST, PUFF
GREEN: ROTATE CRANK, REEL, TURN, WIND
BLUE: ZODIAC SYMBOLS BULL, CRAB, LION, RAM
PURPLE: DR. SEUSS TITLE FIGURES CAT, GRINCH, POP, TURTLE
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.
