NYT Connections today (game #897) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #897, are YELLOW: SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCES BLENDER, MICROWAVE, RICE COOKER, TOASTER GREEN: FEATURES OF A CAR'S CENTER CONSOLE AIR CONDITIONER, CUP HOLDER, RADIO, SHIFTER BLUE: SEEN WHILE GOING THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY BIN, CARRY-ON, METAL DETECTOR, X-RAY PURPLE: ENDING IN COLORS INFRARED, MARIGOLD, STINGRAY, ULTRAVIOLET My rating: Hard My score: 2 mistakes My first mistake today came in thinking that RADIO, MICROWAVE, X-RAY and INFRARED were all connected because of scanning or waves. Abandoning that, I came close and got a one away from the group that became SMALL KITCHEN APPLIANCES, but I included RADIO instead of RICE COOKER. Errors corrected, I sailed through to the end, even spotting the words ENDING IN COLORS before I was down to the final four tiles.

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-24-novemb er-2025 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
