NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 706) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 706, are…
- Yellow: Member of a Taxonomy Kingdom Animal, bacteria, fungus, plant
- Green: graduated instruments Becher, rapporteur, sovereign, syringe
- Blue: kinds of penguins Chinstrap, Emperor, King, Macaroni
- Purple: “e” things Trade, mail, scooter, signature
- My note: Easy
- My score: Perfect
A clear race for me today. My only hesitation was on types of penguins, because I knew Chinstrap, Emperor and King, but made an assumption with Macaroni because there were no probable alternatives.
Meanwhile, I obtained the member of the group of a kingdom in taxonomy thinking that the four words described an evolving scale of the bacteria to mushrooms via the plant to the animal. False, but as well.
Things “e” are in a way a cruel category because there are hundreds of products that have the same prefix. In fact, think of anything and it is likely that there is also a “e” version – from Elarm to e -zips.

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.
