NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 686) – Answers
The answers to today’s connections, the game # 686, are…
- Yellow: calculator buttons Equal, less, percent, times
- Green: quantities of hair Lock, shock, thatched, tuft
- Blue: Salted snack unit Combo, red fish, steering wheel, taki
- Violet: Swedish ____ Chef, fish, massage, meatballs
- My note: Hard
- My score: Fail
I regularly use a calculator, I have large quantities of hair on my head, I love a salty snack and I regularly shop in Ikea, but I found the puzzle of today completely confusing.
The buttons of the calculator that I went immediately, but I then came the collapse. First of all, I thought there was a group of victorian authors of which I did not know anything – so I linked Lock, Thatch, Taki and Tuft.
I have the “One Away!” Alert, but still did not think of hair and rather persisted with my literature and exchanged thatch for Ruffle.
After finally getting hair, I always fog down with only two groups to get – first thinking that there was something in the bowls. For my defense, the cultural difference thwarted me, because the majority of products referenced as a salty snack unit, as well as Swedish fish, are rare delights in the United Kingdom.
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.
