NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 776) – Answers
The responses to today’s connections, the game # 776, are…
- Yellow: herbs and spices Anis, Aneth, Mass, Sage
- Green: Green shades Bottle, hunter, kelly, pea
- Blue: travel on foot Hike, March, tramp, trek
- Purple: start of European capitals COPE, Luxury, Sara, Wars
- My note: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
As a person who likes a good hike in a hill, I know very well the many alternative ways to describe a long walk – or to travel on foot, as connections say.
If I want to try a companion to join me, I will use the word trek, with its implications of adventure if they are more sporty than me (99% of people) and I will ask if they like a meander if they are slower (1% of people). But I can’t imagine who I would ask to make a tramp.
Herbs and spices were just as easy, but that’s where my pleasure ended up.
With eight remaining words, I was without any idea. The only link I could establish was pea and green and after a few errors managed to form a group.
Even with the Violet group finished for me, it took a Google before realizing that Sara was for Sarajevo and luxury for the capital of Luxembourg, also called Luxembourg.
Responses of yesterday’s NYT connections (Friday July 25, match # 775)
- Yellow: Hush-Hush Mom, private, calm, secret
- Green: State abbreviations In, my, oh, ok
- Blue: baseball calls Ball, just, naufr
- Violet: Queen __ Bed, bee, mary, mother
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.
