NYT Connections today (game #467) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #467, are YELLOW: PRESUME FIGURE, IMAGINE, SUSPECT, THINK GREEN: SOMEBODY CHARACTER, INDIVIDUAL, PARTY, PERSON BLUE: CHARACTERS IN THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK," FAMILIARLY BOBA, CHEWY, EMPEROR, SOLO PURPLE: WORDS AFTER KITTY CAT, CORNER, HAWK, LITTER My rating: Moderate My score: 2 mistakes There's a distinctive Star Wars theme to some of the words in today's Connections, which as a child of the 1980s I obviously love. SOLO, CHEWY, BOBA and EMPEROR are all in there, but sadly the NYT couldn't find a way to squeeze in MILLENNIUM FALCON (although HAWK, who is a Star Wars character, is in there). HAWK was not part of the Star Wars group, but the other four were, forming the blue CHARACTERS IN THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK," FAMILIARLY connection. The NYT is fond of this kind of grouping, having given us a JURASSIC PARK one recently too. With that easy blue ticked off I was on the path to another success that's 14 in a row but I made life hard for myself by getting tangled up in the yellow PRESUME and green SOMEBODY groups. FIGURE seemed like it could go with CHARACTER, PERSON and INDIVIDUAL, but it didn't, and then I swapped CHARACTER for SUSPECT instead but that was also wrong. Eventually I realized my mistake and put PARTY in the green group, enabling me to solve both that and yellow and not need to worry about purple. How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Thursday, 19 September, game #466) YELLOW: PREFIX MEANING VERY EXTRA, HYPER, OVER, SUPER GREEN: KINDS OF PARTIES BIRTHDAY, COCKTAIL, DINNER, SURPRISE BLUE: PBS SHOWS FRONTLINE, MASTERPIECE, NATURE, NOVA PURPLE: PLACES IN FRANCE ANGERS, CHAMPAGNE, NICE, REUNION What is NYT Connections? 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-20-septem ber-2024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
