NYT Connections today (game #408) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #408, are YELLOW: IMPOSTOR CHARLATAN, FRAUD, QUACK, SHAM GREEN: UTTERANCE NOISE, PEEP, SOUND, WORD BLUE: ONE WHO LIKES SHOWING OFF HAM, HOT DOG, PEACOCK, SHOWBOAT PURPLE: LOONEY TUNES CHARACTERS MINUS A LETTER BUG, PORK, SPEED, TWEET My rating: Hard My score: 3 mistakes The purple group in today's Connections is hands down one of my favorite ever word challenges. Not just Looney Tunes characters BUGS (Bunny), TWEETY (Pie), PORKY (Pig) and SPEEDY (Gonzales), which would be fun enough on its own, but those characters minus a letter each for BUG, SPEED, TWEET and PORK. And I solved it well, sort of . By which I meant that after solving the other three groups, I stared at it for ages until I suddenly had a burst of inspiration and realized what it was, even though I didn't need to do so. The game up to that point hadn't been easy either, with HAM, HOT DOG, SHOWBOAT and PEACOCK also confusing me. I never knew HOT DOG was a description of a show off 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-23-july-2 024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
