YELLOW: PREFIX MEANING “VERY” GREEN: KINDS OF PARTIES BLUE: PBS SHOWS PURPLE: PLACES IN FRANCE Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #466) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #466, are..
. YELLOW: PREFIX MEANING “VERY” EXTRA, HYPER, OVER, SUPER GREEN: KINDS OF PARTIES BIRTHDAY, COCKTAIL, DINNER, SURPRISE BLUE: PBS SHOWS FRONTLINE, MASTERPIECE, NATURE, NOVA PURPLE: PLACES IN FRANCE ANGERS, CHAMPAGNE, NICE, REUNION My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect Today's Connections really got my brain working – which, I guess, is the intention. Green – KINDS OF PARTIES – was not a difficult one, with BIRTHDAY, COCKTAIL, DINNER and SURPRISE standing out, but I found yellow and blue harder.
The problem was largely one of misdirection, with NOVA and SUPER and HYPER all sounding like they could go together, but eventually I settled on the PREFIX MEANING “VERY” angle and solved yellow. That left blue and purple, and here I was stuck. Maybe if I watched US TV I'd have had a better chance with PBS SHOWS, but I'm in the UK and so I'm not really aware of the likes of MASTERPIECE and FRONTLINE.
My attention was instead focused on ANGERS – an odd word for Connections, and one that didn't appear to go with anything else. But the word NICE was also nagging away at me, and I knew that CHAMPAGNE is a French place too, so put them together with REUNION and ANGERS and solved purple. How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
YELLOW: GATHERING SPOT OUTSIDE A RESIDENCE DECK, PORCH, STOOP, YARD GREEN: LOWDOWN DISH, DOPE, INFO, SCOOP BLUE: KINDS OF REELS BLOOPER, DEMO, HIGHLIGHT, SIZZLE PURPLE: CARTOON DOGS MINUS “Y” DROOP, GOOF, LAD, SNOOP 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..
