NYT Connections today (game #487) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #487, are YELLOW: BODY PARTS ARM, EYE, HIP, LEG GREEN: COOL, IN 80S SLANG BAD, FLY, ILL, RAD BLUE: MOVIES BIG, ELF, HER, SAW PURPLE: WORDS IN DO-RE-MI DOE, FAR, SEW, TEA My rating: Easy My score: Perfect As a child of the 80s I was delighted to see COOL, IN 80S SLANG appear as a group today although Ill be honest and admit that I was never cool enough to say words like BAD, FLY, ILL or RAD myself very often. But Ive watched enough 80s movies that theyre still in my mind, so solving this one wasnt too tricky. In fact, none of todays four groups were particularly challenging. That didnt appear to be the case when I loaded up the game, though: it was one of those days where all of the words are really short. In fact, all 16 of them were three-letter words, and though that doesnt itself make a game hard, there was a strong possibility that some might be prefixes or suffixes, and that can make things tougher. That wasnt the case, though. MOVIES was another theme (with ELF, SAW, HER and BIG the answers), while the yellow BODY PARTS group was one of the easiest weve ever had in Connections. It was all much simpler than I anticipated, thankfully. 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-10-octobe r-2024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
