NYT Connections today (game #778) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #778, are YELLOW: FOREMOST FIRST, INITIAL, ORIGINAL, PRIMARY GREEN: INDICATION EVIDENCE, HINT, SIGN, TRACE BLUE: ITEM IN A COLLECTION COIN, COMIC, RECORD, STAMP PURPLE: ____ MOVIE BUDDY, CULT, DATE, SILENT My rating: Easy My score: Perfect Today felt like an exceptionally easy day. Which makes me suspect that more tricky challenges may be lurking in the week ahead. Not that I dont relish the chance to finish a round of Connections quickly and feel all smug about it. But lets be honest, today was a doddle. On any other day, the purple group could have passed as a yellow. The NYT even resisted the temptation of putting something weird in the ITEM IN A COLLECTION group because, let's face it, people collect anything. Take me for example, I speak here as someone with collections of autographs on the back of cigarette packets, JD Salinger first editions, Portuguese sardine tins, 3D postcards from the 1960s (mainly poodles), and Japanese football shirts. Oh and all the normal stuff. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Sunday, July 27, game #777) YELLOW: "NOTHING TO IT!"

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-28-july-2 025 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
