NYT TODAY connections (game # 681) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 681, are…
- Yellow: Cancel, as a project Ax, cut, fall, scrap
- Green: seen in a pottery studio Clay, glaze, oven, wheel
- Blue: things that are slippery Banana peel, eel, fat, ice cream
- Violet: natural heat producers Fire, lightning, sun, volcano
- My note: Easy
- My score: 1 error
Today’s joke was, of course, fat and lightning. Although I am sure that I was not alone in words that ice and fire trigger a quick search for a Game of Thrones band (An ice and fir songE being the title of the unfinished collection of books on which it is based).
My error today came as I went up to a defective lap. By thinking that there was a group that concerned the creation of natural electricity, I had a eel instead of the volcano in what became the purple quartet, natural producers of heat.
That they produce electricity is one of the three things that people know about eels, the others being that they are slippery and courageous souls like to eat them boiled and served in jelly (I am not one of these people, the idea of eating something that is viscous, bone and faithful does not make my appetite).
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.
