NYT Connections today (game #793) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #793, are YELLOW: GROUPS OF TEN BOWLING PINS, COMMANDMENTS, DECADE, FINGERS GREEN: PLACES WITH LANES BOWLING ALLEY, HIGHWAY, SUPERMARKET, SWIMMING POOL BLUE: LANDMARKS IN DOWNTOWN NYC BOWLING GREEN, BROOKLYN BRIDGE, CITY HALL, WALL STREET PURPLE: THINGS WITH HOLES BOWLING BALL, COLANDER, GOLF COURSE, SPONGE My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes Ill be honest, I was pretty impressed with myself when I got GROUPS OF TEN and then seconds later crushed when it revealed itself to be the yellow group. The first of my mistakes came when assembling THINGS WITH HOLES. I saw the link, but put BROOKLYN BRIDGE instead of SPONGE. Which seems ridiculous in hindsight but I was thinking of cleaning sponges rather than the real thing, plus the Brooklyn Bridge does have a few holes in it. For LANDMARKS IN DOWNTOWN NYC I fudged a group together incorrectly, thinking we were searching for locations of Bob Dylan album covers. There are several shot in New York ( The Freewheelin Bob Dylan and Highway 61 Revisited ) but I was way off with BROOKLYN BRIDGE, WALL STREET, HIGHWAY and CITY HALL but it did get me "one away" and help me rethink. Id not heard of BOWLING GREEN before (New Yorks oldest public park), but it seemed the most logical place name from the options I had left.

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-12-august -2025 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
