NYT TODAY connections (game # 645) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 645, are…
- Yellow: Filament Fiber, strand, rope, thread
- Green: a little inhibited Abandonment, freedom, spontaneity, non-recovery
- Blue: Types of trucks Discharge, garbage, monster, collection
- Violet: bands minus number five Ben Folds, Jackson, Maroon, Mc
- My note: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Seeing the name Ben Folds in connections was a beautiful buzz – a good human songwriter, and of course forever associated with number five, making groups minus the number five the most escapable purple group (for me at least) for a month. Jackson and Maroon were also easy to find, but I supposed MC before reminding me that they are a heavy rock group.
Here is a good game to play if you are bored and with a friend – take it in turn to name artists with numbers in their names and see how far you can count. If you forget 15 and 18, you should be able to go to Matchbox 20.
Meanwhile, see Monster and the nearby pickup made the group green just as easy and that probably says a lot about my own lack of spontaneity that I was inebit last.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

What is NYT connections?
Nyt Connections is one of the many increasingly popular puns produced by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and generally very difficult.
On the positive side, you do not technically need to resolve the last, because you can respond to it by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing margin.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are a lot of opportunities so that the game makes you trip with towers. For example, pay attention to homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT games site on the desktop or mobile.
