NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 649) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 649, are…
- Yellow: Middle Circle, scene, sphere, world
- Green: Lighting Large, icon, legend, lion
- Blue: architectural drawing tools Compass, rule, stencil, t-carré
- Violet: __Bar Graphics, examination, mitzvah, soap
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
A very rare connection where I saw the purple group long before the end. Mitzvah was the biggest index but I still used an error. I knew that the common thread was the word __bar but stupidly I included lion because there is a British candy called lion bar and I thought it was a global thing. This stupid decision apart, I am happy to have finished the puzzle today.
I almost included circle among the architectural drawing tools before remembering that it is the same as a compass.
In another rarity, I did not get the yellow group at all, see the light first – including lion was a section, but I saw no alternative.
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.
