NYT Connections today (game #392) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #392, are YELLOW: CHANGE STATES OF MATTER CONDENSE, FREEZE, MELT, VAPORIZE GREEN: REPLACEMENT ALTERNATE, BACKUP, COVER, SUB BLUE: SLANGY NAMES FOR PROFESSIONS COPPER, HACK, SHRINK, SUIT PURPLE: MARIAH CAREY NUMBER ONE HITS FANTASY, HERO, HONEY, SOMEDAY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect It's just as well the first three groups were easy today, because there is zero chance I would ever have solved the purple group other than by default. No offence to Maria Carey, who did record one of the greatest Christmas songs ever, but I am not familiar with her wider canon and therefore would not have spotted that FANTASY, HERO, HONEY and SOMEDAY went together. Fortunately, I did notice that CONDENSE, FREEZE, MELT and VAPORIZE all formed a CHANGE STATES OF MATTER group, because my knowledge of science is greater than my knowledge of Mariah's hits. The green 'replacement' and blue 'slangy names for professions' groups were equally simple, making this one of the smoother Connections experiences I've had lately. How did you do today?

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-7-july-20 24 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
