In today’s NYT Connections game, players are tasked with arranging 16 words into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be anything from horror movie franchises to rappers. Each group is color coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple the hardest. Players can shuffle the words and submit their guesses, losing a life for each incorrect guess. If they make four mistakes, it’s game over.
The hints for today’s groups include clues such as “particularly” for the yellow group, “from the House of Mouse” for the green group, “types of blue” for the blue group, and “bits of you and me, with a little extra tacked on” for the purple group. The answers for today’s Connections are revealed to be MIGHTY, PRETTY, REALLY, VERY for the yellow group; DAISY, GOOFY, HAPPY, LADY for the green group; BABY, NAVY, SKY, TIFFANY for the blue group; and ARMY, COLONY, LIVERY, SHINY for the purple group.
One player expresses disappointment at their performance in the game, attributing their losses to sleep debt. They mention quickly finding the yellows but struggling with the blues, eventually failing to recognize the Disney characters and the purples despite the obvious clue of every word ending in “y.” However, they remain optimistic and look forward to tomorrow’s game.
The player concludes the article by encouraging readers to check their blog for hints and solutions to future games. They also mention a song by REM that cheered them up after their loss, noting the presence of the words “SHINY” and “HAPPY” in the grid. Overall, despite some setbacks, the player remains engaged and eager to continue playing Connections in the future.
