NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 708) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 708, are…
- Yellow: fundraising event Ball, advantage, function, gala
- Green: spaces on a monopoly board Avenue, luck, railway, utility
- Blue: Characteristics of a toothed whale Blubber, pinball, dynamism, melon
- Violet: Homophones of parts of the foot Bawl, healing, soul, towing
- My note: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
After obtaining a fundraising event fairly quickly, I had trouble moving forward and I started mixing the 12 remaining words. First of all, I thought there was a group where luck was the connection – but I could not go beyond luck and chance.
Then, I guess that Blubber and Flipper had to be part of a group to do with marine biology. By pure luck, I added Fluke and Bawl and obtained “one outside”, so I exchanged the latter for Melon – what I know now is the name given for the fabric found in the front of the toothed whales. Every day is a school day.
I of course kick with my heel, my only one and my toes that I did not get the relatively simple homophones of parts of the foot.
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.
