A Connections word walks into a bar.

The barman says: Sorry we dont serve your type here.

I struggled with blue today. I knew DEVIL DOGS were a type of cake, but I couldnt think of the other two until a vague memory of a Simpsons episode
came to mind one where Homer has to choose between a winning lottery ticket or a YODEL and choses a Yodel. Mmm Yodels.

This LIGHT BULB moment got me over the line on my final guess. Yesterday's

CLOVE, MACE, NUTMEG, PEPPER GREEN: PERFORM POORLY FLAIL, FLOP, FLOUNDER, TANK BLUE: SKIM THROUGH, AS PAGES FLIP, LEAF, RIFFLE, THUMB PURPLE: POP SINGERS MINUS "S" KEY, MAR, SPEAR, STYLE 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.

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #561) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times)

The answers to today's Connections, game #561, are YELLOW: HOMOPHONES EWE, U, YEW, YOU GREEN: NECKLINES BOAT, CREW, SCOOP, V BLUE: WAYS TO EXPRESS 1,000 GRAND, K, M, THOU PURPLE: SUPER 8, BOWL, GLUE, TUESDAY My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes

I knew today was going to be a tough one when I saw the M, U, 8, and K and so it proved, for me at least, as I struggled with a mind block after getting HOMOPHONES.

Had SUPER included Man instead of TUESDAY I would have got there. Living in the UK, our Tuesdays are just your regular Tuesdays and none have ever been described as Super. Its probably the last day of the week that should be described as Super. Monday you have the hope of a fresh week and new possibilities, Wednesday youre nearly over the midweek hump, Thursday is virtually Friday and Friday is almost Saturday an actual Super day.

THOU also threw me, as I got stuck on the archaic pronunciation, rather than WAYS TO EXPRESS 1,000, and M confused me too, with my mind going to the James Bond character before the Roman numerals something the Super BOWL uses to differentiate between years.

According to Branding Magazine, putting an exclamation mark at the end of a name brings energy and enthusiasm to the brand identity system, which makes you wonder why all companies dont just add an exclamation mark.

Part of the reason why not is what the experts call tonality it wouldnt work for a funeral care business, for example. When some people see an exclamation mark they imagine the word being shouted in the newspaper industry they used to call them screamers.

All four NAMES FEATURING ! employ the mark in different ways ironic,
excited, enthusiastic, and in the case of P!nk, an upturned i. Yesterday's
