The answers to today’s connections, the game # 653, are…
- Yellow: black and white things Crossword, Oreo, Panda, Smoking
- Green: Anagrams Abel, Capable, Bale, Bela
- Blue: American presidential nicknames Abe, cal, dick, teddy
- Violet: Clearly like ___ A bell, a crystal, one day, of the mud
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
Today’s puzzle was clear like ___ mud to start and I stupidly lost time to think that a group was made up of famous actors Crystal (Billy), Bale (Christian) and, extending the limits of logic, Day (Daniel Day-Lewis) and Er Dick (Van Dyke).
Then, I thought about a bell being an abbreviation of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the phone.
And then, well, it has become as clear as crystal.
I did not know if Oreo qualified, but I was convinced that the crosswords, the panda and the tuxedo are things in black and white.
The unexpected joy to grasp a purple quartet followed, before finally, Abel, capable, Bale and Bela contained the same four letters and were anagrams of each other.
A whole blessing, because I would never have had presidential nicknames in a month of super Tuesday.

What is NYT connections?
Nyt Connections is one of the many increasingly popular puns produced by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and generally very difficult.
On the positive side, you do not technically need to resolve the last, because you can respond to it by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing margin.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are a lot of opportunities so that the game makes you trip with towers. For example, pay attention to homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT games site on the desktop or mobile.
