NYT Connections today (game #1111) – the answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1111 are…
- YELLOW: CRUNCHY SNACK ITEM CHIP, CRACKER, NUTS, PRETZEL
- GREEN: VARIOUS QUANTITIES OF WOOD BOARD, LOG, SPLINTER, TREE
- BLUE: LOW GROUND AREAS DALE, DELL, THROAT, HOLLOW
- PURPLE: COLORS PLUS ONE LETTER TAN, PINKY, REDO, TANG
- My rating: Easy
- My rating: Perfect
Today I was proud of myself on two counts. Firstly, by managing to get a purple first and secondly, by managing to resist submitting to the four CRUNCHY SNACK ITEMS before the riskier collection of COLORS PLUS A LETTER.
Even though I was convinced of a link between REDO and PINKY, BRONZER and TANG seemed like a risk to me – but the bet paid off.
With eight tiles remaining, the rest were easy to separate and I opted for four tiles that I thought depicted parts of a forest, rather than AREAS OF LOW TERRAIN.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created 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 difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little more difficult, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the final question, as you will be able to answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.
However, it’s a bit more complex than something like Wordle, and the game provides plenty of opportunities to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT Games website on computer or mobile.
