NYT Connections today — hints and answers for Saturday, August 31 (game #447)

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.
PURPLE: SEEN ON BACKS OF U.S. COINS EAGLE, MONTICELLO, SHIELD, TORCH
My rating: Stupid
My score: Fail
Another day, another Connections fail. And I don't even care, it's just stupid. Look, how am I supposed to know what is on the back of US coins? I'm not in the US! I DO NOT CARE WHAT IS ON THE BACK. Do you know what's on the back of British coins? No. So why should I know what's on US coins?
And what is a WEDGE salad? I have never, ever heard that term before. So yeah, whatever, I failed. See you again tomorrow, when I will undoubtedly fail again because this game is biased and stupid.
Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, 30 August, game #446)
YELLOW: SPARKLING THINGS DIAMOND, GLITTER, GOLD, SEQUIN
GREEN: PARTICIPATE IN SUMMER OLYMPIC EVENTS BOX, DIVE, FENCE, ROW
BLUE: WONDERS OF THE WORLD GARDENS, LIGHTHOUSE, PYRAMID, TEMPLE
PURPLE: ICE ___ CREAM, CUBE, MACHINE, STORM
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.
