NYT Connections today (game #679) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #679, are...
YELLOW: GLIMPSE GANDER, GLANCE, LOOK, PEEP GREEN: NEEDS FOR TIE-DYEING A SHIRT BASIN, DYE, RUBBER BANDS, SHIRT BLUE: THINGS YOU CAN CRACK CODE, EGG, JOKE, WHIP PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE "HOP" BAR, BUNNY, HIP, SOCK My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes I got the green group NEEDS FOR TIE-DYEING without knowing what I was looking for, just a process of elimination with the eight words I had left. It’s not something that I’ve ever personally done and I had no idea of the process. GLIMPSE was a good deal easier — interestingly, GANDER was in yesterday’s “Take a ___” themed Strands and the trick pairing of PEEPs and BUNNY appeared in today’s.
It feels like we are getting ever closer to a mash-up between the two puzzles – like when the cast of Family Guy appeared in The Simpsons . THINGS YOU CAN CRACK was a great category for Easter, although I almost included HIP. How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
YELLOW: SPOKEN PRESENTATION ADDRESS, LECTURE, SPEECH, TALK GREEN: ADJECTIVES FOR A DESERT DRY, HOT, SANDY, VAST BLUE: DOG BREEDS, INFORMALLY BULLY, CHOW, GOLDEN, LAB PURPLE: REPRESENTED BY THREE-DIGIT NUMBERS CANNABIS, DEVIL, INTRO CLASS, JAMES BOND 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..
