NYT Connections today (game #629) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #629, are YELLOW: ASSOCIATED WITH GOOD LUCK HORSESHOE, LADYBUG, PENNY, SHAMROCK GREEN: TO-BO- COMPOUND WORDS TOLLBOOTH, TOMBOY, TOOLBOX, TOWBOAT BLUE: BROADWAY MUSICALS, FAMILIARLY FIDDLER, MERRILY, PHANTOM, SUNSET PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE "COWBOY" IN FILM AND MUSIC DRUGSTORE, MIDNIGHT, RHINESTONE, SPACE My rating: Easy My score: 1 mistake A great start for me today, landing the Purple group immediately. Im a big Glen Campbell fan so the first thing I thought when I saw RHINESTONE in todays grid was his classic song Rhinestone Cowboy . I love the movie MIDNIGHT Cowboy too, one of Dustin Hoffmans finest. I initially thought ASSOCIATED WITH GOOD LUCK was something to do with travellers and linked together HORSESHOE, SHAMROCK, TOWBOAT and PENNY before realizing the error of my ways. FIDDLER, PHANTOM and SUNSET all seemed connected to BROADWAYS MUSICALS, FAMILIARLY but MERRILY was a stab in the dark as I was unaware of Merrily We Roll Along . It looks fantastic, though. How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

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-1-march-2 025 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
