NYT Connections today (game #468) - hint #2 - group answers What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups? YELLOW: CLAIRVOYANT GREEN: SPECIAL EDITION ADJECTIVES BLUE: “GREAT JOB!” PURPLE: EXTREMELY Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #468) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #468, are..
. YELLOW: CLAIRVOYANT MEDIUM, MYSTIC, ORACLE, PSYCHIC GREEN: SPECIAL EDITION ADJECTIVES COLLECTIBLE, EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED, RARE BLUE: “GREAT JOB!” IMPRESSIVE, NICE, PROPS, WELL DONE PURPLE: EXTREMELY AWFUL, BLOODY, REAL, WAY My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake This was a surprisingly easy Connections puzzle even by recent examples, although I still contrived to make one mistake. That was a silly one; I'm sure the misdirection was intended by the NYT, and I walked right into the trap.
I'm talking, of course, about BLOODY, RARE, WELL DONE and MEDIUM – which could have been 'Ways to cook a steak'. But no, all four words actually belonged to alternative groups. That quickly became apparent, when I looked again and realized that MEDIUM, MYSTIC, ORACLE and PSYCHIC were all words for a CLAIRVOYANT (yellow) and that COLLECTIBLE, EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED, RARE all formed a green group for SPECIAL EDITION ADJECTIVES.
That left blue and purple, and this time neither was too complicated. No 'blank something' type, no clever cryptic connections – simply a couple of groups, both of which were fairly obvious. How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
YELLOW: PRESUME FIGURE, IMAGINE, SUSPECT, THINK GREEN: SOMEBODY CHARACTER, INDIVIDUAL, PARTY, PERSON BLUE: CHARACTERS IN “THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK," FAMILIARLY BOBA, CHEWY, EMPEROR, SOLO PURPLE: WORDS AFTER “KITTY” CAT, CORNER, HAWK, LITTER 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..
