Some days I'm done within about 10 minutes, maybe even five if it's an easy one. But 20-30 is not uncommon, and today I was towards the top end of that range. Yellow wasn't too bad; I spotted COOL and SICK, then added NICE and SWEET to make the "AWESOME!" group and show how down with the kids I am. Or rather, how down with the kids the NYT is not, because I don't think my teenage daughters would use any of those words in that way. Then again, the words they would use can't be printed in a family publication like TechRadar. After that, it was tough going. I found several possible pairs, but couldn't see any that had three words, let alone four. I kept coming back to KIND and TYPE, though, and eventually decided to try adding STYLE and SORT more on a hunch than any real certainty. I was right, but there was a lot of guesswork involved. And then my game stalled entirely. I went off and did something else for a while, returned and was nonplussed again, then finally decided that DRIFT and IDEA could be related, and added a couple more to solve blue. But purple well, even after seeing the answer I don't really get how that's a group. Though again, there could be cultural differences at play here. WING I get, but what does STICK refer to? What is a TENDER? No, I'm lost 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-5-june-20 24 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
