NYT Connections today (game #370) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #370, are YELLOW: BASKETBALL SHOTS DUNK, FLOATER, LAYUP, THREE GREEN: FISH PERCH, PIKE, SKATE, SOLE BLUE: QUALITIES OF THICK HAIR BODY, BOUNCE, LIFT, VOLUME PURPLE: ___ CHILD FLOWER, ONLY, POSTER, PROBLEM My rating: Moderate My score: Two mistakes I was a little slapdash in my play today, guessing incorrectly a couple of times before pulling myself together and ticking them all off one by one. The first group I spotted was the BASKETBALL SHOTS one (yellow), on account of DUNK and LAYUP. But I'm not a massive basketball fan, and initially tried those two with BOUNCE and LIFT (thinking it was just 'things associated with basketball', rather than shots specifically, then wondered it was related to volleyball and swapped in PIKE instead. With two mistakes I looked elsewhere, and identified the FISH group, green. Next I spotted _CHILD, which was way easier than purple would suggest. Returning to basketball now that the options were reduced this time yielded the answers: FLOATER and THREE were the missing two. And for once I was able to solve the final group before I played it, correctly identifying that it was related to hair qualities. 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-15-june-2 024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
