NYT Connections today (game #747) – the answers
(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #747, are…
YELLOW: IN FASHION CHIC, CURRENT, FRESH, HAPPENING
GREEN: PARTS OF AN ANGEL COSTUME HALO, HARP, ROBE, WINGS
BLUE: “SESAME STREET” FIGURES BIRD, COUNT, GROUCH, MONSTER
PURPLE: BROTHERS BLOOD, BLUES, CHEMICAL, MARX
My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect
My enjoyment at whizzing through today’s puzzle without any mistakes is tempered by the fact that I didn’t get the BROTHERS group.
My reasoning for not putting the purple quartet together is that I initially thought that the inclusion of GROUCH, HARP and MARX indicated some kind of trap. But even with that possibility eliminated I still saw everything else before the link between Marx, BLUES, CHEMICAL and BLOOD.
I am sure there will be some players who prickle at the idea of angels having a “costume”. It doesn’t feel right somehow, although saying uniform would be a little more contentious.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Thursday, June 26, game #746)
YELLOW: COMPONENTS OF A SALAD CHEESE, DRESSING, LETTUCE, PROTEIN
GREEN: KINDS OF MACHINES ENIGMA, PINBALL, SEWING, VENDING
BLUE: LEGAL DRAMAS DAMAGES, GOLIATH, MATLOCK, SUITS
PURPLE: ENDING WITH PLAYING CARDS BOJACK, HAWKING, LOVELACE, MCQUEEN
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.

Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna’s addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
