NYT Connections today (game #504) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #504, are YELLOW: SASSY CUTE, FRESH, SMART, WISE GREEN: AMBIENCE AIR, FEELING, MOOD, QUALITY BLUE: UNITS BAR, BEL, LUX, MOLE PURPLE: THE LITTLE ___ MERMAID, PRINCE, RASCALS, TRAMP My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint This is a reasonably tricky Connections puzzle, and one that has nothing to do with Will Smith, despite the first four words in the grid reading FRESH PRINCE BEL AIR. Of course the first thing I do every time I play is to use the shuffle function in order to remove any NYT misdirection that might be in there. I'm not sure if it works, because seeing those four words in different places might well suggestion a connection to me so I have to be careful to look at the board both before and after I shuffle. I take it all too seriously, yes, Surprisingly, I solved purple first today; the blank connection there, of LITTLE (TRAMP, PRINCE, MERMAID, RASCALS) was fairly obvious, whereas the blue group of BAR, BEL, LUX and MOLE was much more difficult. Yellow and green were both pretty tricky for the supposedly easiest groups, too, so it took me a while to get all of the answers. How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

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-27-octobe r-2024 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
