NYT TODAY connections (match # 657) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, the game # 657, are…
- Yellow: materials associated with fantasy meals China, crystal, linen, silver
- Green: types of shorts Bermuda, bike, boxer, cargo
- Blue: Names in a famous palindrome Canal, man, panama, plan
- Purple: Films from 1985 Brazil, index, commando, witness
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
I got confused today with a single error. This came when I put linen instead of the cargo (which I consider as a complete leg of the leg) in a way of shorts.
The rest with which I got out despite not really knowing what I was doing – China, crystal, linen and money because they were all expensive materials; Canal, man, panama and plan because they all “one” in them.
The famous palindrome in question (a man, a plan, a channel – Panama!) Was invented in a 1948 edition of Notes and requests Magazine, although this is disputed, as some reveal on Google.
In the 1980s, other articles were added by words of words, including a cat, ham, yak, yam and hat. Then, a computer programmer offered a version with 243 words. But then, by putting the seal on all future revisions, IT Peter Norvig created its final 2,473 Panama Palindrome. I cannot imagine that the feeling of overwhelming disappointment when he exceeded 2,002 words.
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.
