NYT TODAY connections (game # 597) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 597, are…
- Yellow: Funny person Card, character, joker, laughter
- Green: resistance drive equipment Group, bench, dumbbell, carpet
- Blue: Bars of sweets less “S” Airhead, Mar, mound, sneer
- Violet: Speed ___ Bump, chess, demon, dial
- My note: Hard
- My score: 3 errors
I really had trouble today and I doubt that I am alone. The joker, the card and the character are good for a funny person, but laugh? I wasted two errors on that one. I know that if someone is funny, you could say that he is a good “laugh” but it always looks like a verb in a group of names.
Well, I’m going to get back!
Meanwhile, I took time to get the less “S” candy bars because the mounds and the Airheads (s) are not available in the United Kingdom, where I am based, and I was rather attracted by The link with the mound with BUMP. I am almost sure that the mounds are the same as our bonus bars, but I do not know if there is a European equivalent of Airheads.
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.
