The answers to today's Connections, game #469, are…

YELLOW: TYPES OF COLOR GRAYSCALE, NEON, NEUTRAL, PASTEL
GREEN: FILE MENU OPTIONS NEW, OPEN, PRINT, SAVE
BLUE: CHANCE TO WIN A PRIZE DRAWING, LOTTERY, POOL, RAFFLE
PURPLE: WHAT “BRONZE” COULD MEAN ALLOY, SCULPTURE, SUNTAN, THIRD

My rating: Simply
My score: Perfect

Those of you playing Connections on a laptop or PC may have had an advantage over people playing on their phones today because you had a big clue for the green group. That connection is FILE MENU OPTIONS, and the fact that I was sitting on my laptop playing and then writing this column meant they were staring me in the face. Okay, not literally – they were hidden in the menu – but in my memory they were definitely fresh. At this point I had already solved Blue, although LOTTERY and RAFFLE clearly matched and the other two weren't too difficult to find (I had a little difficulty with DRAWING).

Two down, one left – and inevitably I found yellow instead of purple, even though neither was actually that bad today.

How have you been today? Send me an email and let me know.

Yesterday's NYT Connections Answers (Saturday, September 21st, Game #468)

YELLOW: Psychic MEDIUM, MYSTICAL, ORACLE, PSYCHIC
GREEN: SPECIAL EDITION ADJECTIVES COLLECTOR'S ITEM, EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED, RARE
BLUE: “GREAT JOB!” IMPRESSIVE, BEAUTIFUL, PROPS, WELL MADE
PURPLE: EXTREME HORRIBLE, BLOODY, REAL, A LOT

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games from The New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: Green is easy, Yellow is slightly more difficult, Blue is often quite difficult, and Purple is usually very difficult.

On the bright side, you don't technically have to solve the last question as you can answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.

However, it's a bit more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of ways to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure answers.

It is free to play on desktop or mobile via the NYT Games website.
