YELLOW: ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER GREEN: KINDS OF GOLF CLUBS BLUE: HORROR MOVIES, WITH THE PURPLE: WORDS FOR SAUSAGE Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #377) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #377, are YELLOW: ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER CHAIN, SERIES, STRING, TRAIN GREEN: KINDS OF GOLF CLUBS DRIVER, IRON, WEDGE, WOOD BLUE: HORROR MOVIES, WITH THE BIRDS, FOG, OMEN, RING PURPLE: WORDS FOR SAUSAGE BRAT, DOG, FRANK, LINK My rating: Easy My score: Perfect One thing I always try to do in Connections is shuffle the words as soon as I begin. The NYT, sneaky thing that it is, will always try to misdirect you at the start, for instance putting DOG and FOG (rhyming words?) and CHAIN and LINK next to each other, when really they are in entirely different groups. Today's game was another straightforward one. After my disasters earlier in the week I feel like I'm back in the swing of things, which is ironic given that one of the groups today relates to golf. I solved that one first, then the blue 'horror movies' group, leaving yellow as an easy final puzzle to solve before the purple group solved itself. 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-22-june-2 024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
