NYT TODAY connections (game # 656) – Answers

The answers to today’s connections, the game # 656, are…
- Yellow: Hurl Chuck, pelt, pitch, scarf
- Green: be on both sides of Live greenhouse, support, flank, surround
- Blue: parts of a classic girl scout uniform Badge, beret, belt, skirt
- Violet: __Mall Bingo, city, monty, study
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 2 errors
I mixed the yellow and green groups today after having convinced me that the words had something to do with the medieval battles – I thought that the pitch was poured through the holes of the castle and soldiers to rock arrows with their surrounded army.
After obtaining “one apart” after my second supposition failed, I finally saw the light and a much simpler group of words that launch.
I was convinced that the link between the bingo, the city and the study was __ Hall, but tried its luck on Monty – although I should have obtained it as Monty Hall problem, a brain teaser named after the legend of the TV, was a category of stupid connections in January (car, goat, door, host).
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.
