NYT TODAY connections (game # 639) – Answers

The answers to today’s connections, the game # 639, are…
- Yellow: variation of the standard Alternative, break, change, departure
- Green: things that sound Alarm, bell, intercom, phone
- Blue: things traditionally made of leather Football, moccasins, saddle, wallet
- Purple: songwriter-songwriter pianists Keys, king, legend, wonder
- My note: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I had an intuition that wonder was linked to Stevie, but my uncertainty about who could join him led me to pursue other groups.
Things traditionally made of leather were the first connection I saw, mainly moccasins and saddle, with my only hesitation being football because I knew that at the beginning, they were called pigskins.
After initially thought that the breakup and the departure had a common vacation, I saw that the difference or the variation of the standard was the link. In a huge start of the standard for me, I managed to get today’s puzzle without error. A unique and pleasant experience.

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.
