NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 803) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 803, are…
- Yellow: United States Presidents Adams, Ford, Grant, Washington
- Green: actors whose family names are also verbs Chevy Chase, Christoph Waltz, Geoffrey Rush, Tom Cruise
- Blue: Types of poker Draw, Omaha, Strip, Stud
- Purple: names appropriate after Gerunds in the film titles of the 90s Amy, John Malkovich, Las Vegas, soldier Ryan
- My note: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
Today’s Violet group is one of those who will have people scratch their heads after revealing the answer.
I had to do on Google thereafter to learn that a Gerund is a verb with an end that works like a name – like “save” for the private Ryan, “being” for John Malkovich, “therefore” for Las Vegas and “chasing” for Amy.
Fortunately, I had already finished the puzzle today, but not without several errors. The first was that Amy and Washington were bound by Whitehouse / White House with Stud (there must surely have to be white house stallions) and Las Vegas (I was wrong with the small white chapel).
I also set up the four actors who, I quote, had won Oscars – I left Chevy Chase outside this group – before stopping and seeing the common link in their family names.
Messiah, but I arrived at the end.

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.
