YELLOW: CURRENT SITUATION BLUE: CLASSIC LAWN ORNAMENTS PURPLE: ___ TALE GREEN: REMOTE RURAL AREA Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM. NYT Connections today (game #371) – the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today’s Connections, game #371, are… YELLOW: CURRENT SITUATION CONDITION, FORM, SHAPE, STATE GREEN: REMOTE RURAL AREA BUSH, COUNTRY, STICKS, WOODS BLUE: CLASSIC LAWN ORNAMENTS FLAMINGO, FOUNTAIN, GNOME, PINWHEEL PURPLE: ___ TALE FAIRY, FISH, FOLK, TALL My rating: Moderate My score: Three mistakes I made a real mess of this one, escaping with no guesses remaining but on a puzzle that really shouldn’t have been so tough. Things started poorly and rapidly got worse; I saw GNOME, FOUNTAIN and FLAMINGO and immediately thought that it would be something to do with gardens. So I added FISH, thinking of a pond, and when that was wrong made matters worse by trying BUSH. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I then moved away from that, and picked up the _TALE group, of FAIRY, FOLK, TALL and FISH, but only after inexplicably guessing BUSH again, rather than FISH, and using up my third mistake. What is a BUSH TALE? No idea, I do not know why I played it. With purple solved, eventually, things got easier and I was able to spot the yellow group, before returning to the garden and adding PINWHEEL to the set. I don’t know what a pinwheel is, but it felt like it should fit, and indeed it did. That left the green group, which by this point was blindingly obvious, and which I really should have spotted sooner. D’oh! How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know. Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Saturday, 15 June, game #370) YELLOW: BASKETBALL SHOTS DUNK, FLOATER, LAYUP, THREE GREEN: FISH PERCH, PIKE, SKATE, SOLE BLUE: QUALITIES OF THICK HAIR BODY, BOUNCE, LIFT, VOLUME PURPLE: ___ CHILD FLOWER, ONLY, POSTER, PROBLEM 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.
