NYT TODAY Connections (GAME # 705) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 705, are…
- Yellow: Types of plants Grass, shrub, tree, vineyard
- Green: interrupt Dissolve, end, close, sunset
- Blue: associated with bulls Michael Jordan, Rodeo, Taurus, Wall Street
- Violet: end with building materials Hollywood, hourglass, kubrick, neuroplastic
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
See Hollywood and Vine next to each other with Sunset convinced me that we were looking for the famous streets of Los Angeles.
Unable to think of a fourth, I added Kubrick to the group, reasoning that the great director must have a road that bears his name somewhere – it turns out that he does it, but Avenue Stanley Kubrick is in Denham just outside London, in England rather than California.
After this ding, I went for the most obvious types of plants and stopped – which interrupted my street research.
I have not seen the very obvious connection with Michael Jordan and Bulls – a group of classic connections of four very different things with something in common – but I rather saw the least obvious end with building materials after looking at the word Hourglass for too long.
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.
