The answers to today's Connections, game #426, are…

  • YELLOW: THINGS THAT ARE RED DEVIL, MARS, ROSE, STRAWBERRY
  • GREEN: BE IN COMMISSION FUNCTION, OPERATE, RUN, WORK
  • BLUE: MICROSOFT PRODUCTS EDGE, OFFICE, TEAMS, WINDOWS
  • PURPLE: BIOPICS BLONDE, JOBS, MILK, VICE

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

This was a harder edition of Connections, with one group I would never have solved other than by default, and a couple of others that I had to ponder for some time.

Purple, the 'biopics' group, was the one I'd never have got – in hindsight I have heard of a couple of them, but the connection between them would just not have occurred to me. Fortunately, I did solve the others, but it took me quite a while to spot that MARS, ROSE, STRAWBERRY and DEVIL are all 'things that are red'. This was the yellow group – so supposedly the easiest – but for whatever reason my brain didn't put them together until I'd stared at the board for about 5 minutes!

What is NYT Connections?

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.
