NYT Connections today (game #522) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #522, are.
.. YELLOW: DEPLETE DRAIN, EMPTY, EXHAUST, SAP GREEN: PLAY MUSIC WITH PASSION GROOVE, JAM, ROCK, SHRED BLUE: WORDS ON A RESTAURANT RECEIPT SIGNATURE, TAX, TIP, TOTAL PURPLE: FORMS OF SUGAR CUBE, GRAIN, POWDER, SYRUP My rating: Easy My score: Perfect This is probably one of the easiest Connections games we've had in a few weeks.
The first couple of groups, yellow and green, were obvious collections of synonyms, while blue was not much harder; it doesn't take a genius to spot that TAX, TIP and TOTAL go together, and in that context SIGNATURE is an easy addition. Would I have got purple, FORMS OF SUGAR, if not by default? We'll never know for sure, but I suspect that if the other three hadn't been so simple I might have put POWDER and GRAIN together at least, then built from there. I'm not complaining, of course – I've had a couple of failures lately, so I'll take every victory I get, even if it wasn't a particularly challenging game.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. YELLOW: THINGS THAT ARE YELLOW CANARY, LEMON, MINION, MUSTARD GREEN: BUILDING ADD-ONS ADDITION, ANNEX, EXTENSION, WING BLUE: CONCERNS FOR A DENTIST CALCULUS, CAVITY, PLAQUE, TARTAR PURPLE: WORDS THAT SEEM LONGER WRITTEN THAN SPOKEN COLONEL, PHARAOH, WEDNESDAY, WORCESTERSHIRE 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..
