The answers to today’s connections, the game # 769, are…
- Yellow: drinking water sources Rain, spring, tap, well well
- Green: things you can do with football Pass, booted, snap, peak
- Blue: sharp fasteners Brad, nail, pin, punai
- Purple: starts of ninja turtles mutant adolescent girls Don, leo, micro, rap
- My note: Hard
- My score: Fail
I was disadvantaged today, knowing nothing about football (of the American kind) or mutant ninja turtles, but that was not the reason why I crashed.
Like many, I’m sure, see Brad and Leo next to the other on the board immediately made me think of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, so I spent ages trying to find a group that was something to do with Once upon a time in Hollywood – Type an error on a wild supposition.
My next three errors came before I even had a single correct group. Thinking that I was looking for a group of things you could hammer, I selected Nail, Pin, Tack and Spike.
After having removed one, I tried Snap instead of Spike, then, possessed by another “one outside”, spring. Well, you can’t win them all. Or hammer them all.

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.
