NYT Connections today (game #748) – the answers

(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #748, are…

YELLOW: THINGS A DOG CAN FETCH BALL, BONE, FRISBEE, STICK
GREEN: GREAT MANY DROVE, HOST, LOAD, SCORE
BLUE: POSSIBLE RESULTS OF A TRAFFIC VIOLATION BOOT, POINTS, TICKET, TOW
PURPLE: INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION INVENTORS BELL, DIESEL, SINGER, WATT

My rating: Hard
My score: Fail

I crashed out today, but I don’t feel too bad about it as I managed to get the purple group before running out of guesses.
For the record: Alexander Graham BELL was the inventor of the telephone, Rudolf DIESEL refined the internal combustion engine, Isaac SINGER patented the sewing machine, and the steam engine invented by James WATT powered mills and distilleries.
Tech history and THINGS A DOG CAN FETCH aside I floundered. I did come “one away” with POSSIBLE RESULTS OF A TRAFFIC VIOLATION, but the truth is I had no idea what I was looking for.
I’m blaming cultural differences as I was completely unaware what a BOOT was (in the UK we call it a clamp, and a ‘boot’ is what the US knows as a trunk).
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Friday, June 27, game #747)

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

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.

Contributor

Johnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. 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.
