NYT Connections today (game #474) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #474, are YELLOW: AREA OF HIGH GROUND BANK, DUNE, HILL, MOUND GREEN: SIGNIFICANCE GRAVITY, IMPORT, SUBSTANCE, WEIGHT BLUE: ACTIONS IN FANTASY SPORTS BENCH, DRAFT, START, TRADE PURPLE: SCI-FI MOVIES, WITH THE ABYSS, FLY, MATRIX, THING My rating: Moderate My score: 3 mistakes What do MATRIX, THING, FLY, ABYSS, GRAVITY and DUNE all have in common? They're all movies, of course and more specifically all sci-fi movies (although The Fly is also a horror). Four of them also formed a Connections group today but which four? If I'd been a little more careful I'd have worked it out sooner and not lost a guess very early on. But I didn't do that, instead just picking four at random, which was a REALLY STUPID thing to do. Still, I got it on the second attempt, taking a little more time over it and realizing that it was SCI-FI MOVIES, WITH THE, and therefore ABYSS, FLY, MATRIX and THING. I only lost one guess there, but threw away a couple more on the blue ACTIONS IN FANTASY SPORTS group. I originally had IMPORT in there, thinking it was something about taking things/people from one place to another (which worked with DRAFT and TRADE), but was looking in slightly the wrong place and almost suffered a failure. With no guesses remaining I swapped IMPORT for BENCH, added START and solved this Connections puzzle. 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-27-septem ber-2024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
