NYT TODAY Connections (Game # 807) – Answers
The responses to today’s connections, the game # 807, are…
- Yellow: distinction characteristics Taupe, drilling, scar, tattooing
- Green: a real con Flumn, heel, rat, moufette
- Blue: Pester Badger, bug, harry, ride
- Purple: words before “stool” Bar, foot, not, toad
- My note: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
It took me two going to get a real con, because I included mole instead of thinking that it was a slang group linked to the criminal. And before that, I stupidly grouped the heel, the foot and the step (more bar) in the erroneous belief that there was a kind of podrical connection.
After giving these two mistakes, I progressed with the green and blue groups, although I am not sure of the way Ride did alongside Badger, Bug and Harry.
The distinction features have probably been much easier if you work in emergency services or look at a lot of crime procedures, but it took a lot of the last eight tiles so that the penny drops for me. Difficult.

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.
