NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 669) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 669, are…
- Yellow: shades of yellow Canari, gold, lemon, mustard
- Green: food Mine, reserve, store, good
- Blue: Christmas anti-spirit Bah, coal, grinch, naughty
- Violet: Spanish words Ella, enthusiasm, Mayo, soy
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
Having jumped the obvious cunning – canary, coal, mine – I fell for one of my own creations, thinking that soy, mustard, mayonnaise and lemon would make an excellent vinaigrette. It was bad, of course. I would also add a little honey if I had to do it.
Having shades of yellow being the yellow group was a cute touch. I remember that they did the same for Green last year (olive, forest, lemon and mint), but I don’t think they have yet done blue or purple, so I will be looking for them.
If the group felt familiar, it could be due to the fact that the yellow nuances had occurred as a theme in the strands a few weeks ago, but there, we had Goldenrod instead of gold.
The Spanish words seem quite random and I wonder if I miss something special about Ella (Elle), Gusto (taste), Mayo (May) and soy (AM) – a common feeling with the Violet group, which generally travels a mile above my head.
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.
