NYT Connections today (game #359) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #359, are YELLOW: TAKE HOME, AS INCOME CLEAR, EARN, MAKE, NET GREEN: PARTS OF A WIZARD COSTUME BEARD, HAT, ROBE, STAFF BLUE: FOUND ON A SHIP BRIDGE, DECK, HATCH, KEEL PURPLE: C-___ CLEF, SECTION, SPAN, SUITE My rating: Easy My score: One mistake I've marked this as easy even though I didn't get a perfect score, because really I have nobody to blame but myself. I started by solving the yellow and green groups without too many problems. As always, I pondered a couple of potential directions for the first one maybe BRIDGE and SPAN could go together meaning 'go over a gap', or maybe BRIDGE and CLEF formed some kind of musical grouping but after a while decided that EARN, MAKE, NET and CLEAR must go together and indeed they did. Next I spotted that STAFF and ROBE were obvious parts of a wizard costume, and paired them with BEARD and HAT to make a Gandalf-esque green set. I was pretty sure something boat-like was going to form another group, and had BRIDGE, DECK and KEEL lined up as three of them. The fourth? Well, I know a HATCH is sometimes found on a boat, but not always. The same goes for a SUITE, right? If it's a fancy cruise ship or yacht, at least. So I went with the latter and lost one guess there. I righted my wrong immediately afterwards and was left to play the purple set by default, as always. And no, I wouldn't have got it for starters, I have no idea what C-SPAN or C-SUITE are How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult. On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room. It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers. It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/gaming/nyt-connections-today-answers-hints-4-june-20 24 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
