NYT Connections today (game #627) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #627, are YELLOW: CONTACT VIA TELEPHONE CALL, DIAL, PHONE, RING GREEN: PARTS OF A CAR BELT, HORN, MIRROR, WHEEL BLUE: LEVELS OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION ATOM, CELL, ORGAN, TISSUE PURPLE: ENDING WITH UNITS OF MEASURE BIGFOOT, COMPOUND, INSTAGRAM, THERMOMETER My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake I managed to get the Green group today, thinking it was something to do with astronomy (Orions BELT, the Holmdel HORN, errr something WHEEL) which is a bit ridiculous when you consider how obvious the correct answer (PARTS OF A CAR) was. Speaking of which, just to let you know if I ever become President of the world, the first executive order I will be signing with my giant pen will be that car owners are only allowed to use their HORN five times a year. I feel this will cut down radically on road rage and force people to only use them when its important, rather than harassing cyclist/nose pickers at traffic lights/other road users/people sleeping at 2am. Meanwhile, CONTACT VIA TELEPHONE got me thinking about all the brilliant songs about the analog age of telephony, when you had to remember peoples numbers or have them written down on a matchbook or back of your hand the classic of this surprisingly enormous song topic is Operator (Thats Not The Way It Goes) by Jim Croce, but there are plenty of others. Today you dont need to know anyones number to give them a CALL, but youd be pretty defiant to technological advances if you were still giving them a DIAL. How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Wednesday, 26 February, game #626) YELLOW: EXPENDITURE CHARGE, COST, PRICE, RATE GREEN: ONETIME FORMER, LATE, PAST, PRIOR BLUE: MADE WITH HORIZONTAL LINES DASH, HYPHEN, MINUS, UNDERSCORE PURPLE: SIMPSON FAMILY MEMBERS WITH FIRST LETTER CHANGED BAGGIE, BARGE, COMER, PISA 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. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/gaming/nyt-connections-today-answers-hints-27-februa ry-2025 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
