Good morning! Let's play Connections, the NYT's clever word game that challenges you to group answers in various categories. It can be tough, so read on if you need clues. What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of course.
I've also got daily , and articles if you need help for those too. Today's NYT Connections words are..
. What are some clues for today's NYT Connections groups? Need more clues? We're firmly in spoiler territory now, but read on if you want to know what the four theme answers are for today's NYT Connections puzzles..
. What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups? Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. The answers to today's Connections, game #534, are.
.. Before I started writing this today I had no idea who or what ELOISE was.
Nothing at all about it had ever crossed my cultural path, to the extent that when the answer popped up it wasn't one of those 'Oh, of course' moments, or even an 'Oh, I've vaguely heard of that' situations, but purely one of 'Er, what's that'. I know now that it was a 1950s illustrated book, but I'm completely baffled as to why it's an answer here. It doesn't even appear to be that famous – the entire first page of is about a song with that name or a 2007 movie.
I can only imagine that it was a favorite of the NYT puzzle setters. Very strange. Anyway, that was purple, and the good news for me was that it didn't impact my game at all, because I was able to solve the three easier groups instead.
I did them in order of difficulty, starting with yellow (GOOD THINGS TO GET AT WORK) and green (DISREGARD), both of which were very simple, before (inevitably) getting stuck on the final groups. Eventually I put RITZ and GOLDFISH together as KINDS OF CRACKERS, and though I wasn't certain about CLUB or ANIMAL I had a hunch that they were right – a hunch of the kind I didn't get about ELOISE, because it had simply never fired a single one of my neurons at any point in the past. But now it has, so I guess that's a positive thing.
How did you do today? and let me know..
