My rating: Hard
My score: Fail
No idea what was going on at all here. Let’s start again tomorrow, eh?
Okay, fair enough, you can spend a few minutes wallowing in my despair, because I was all at sea with today’s Connections. None of the words seemed to have any connection at all and I was reduced to randomly placing words together in the blind hope that some might be correct.
Reader, they were not – and I duly crashed out.
That said, I do take some issue with this as a Connections puzzle, clever though it was. The groups are supposed to get easier – but that really wasn’t the case here. All of them, from yellow to purple, are equally tough – there’s no difficulty curve to it at all. Sure, throw in one or even two of these ‘what a two-letter-word can mean’ groups, but not four of them in one.
But maybe that’s just sour grapes on my part. Anyway, tomorrow will be easier, right? Right?
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Thursday, July 3, game #753)

PURPLE: FARMERS’ THINGS ALMANAC, INSURANCE, MARKET, TAN
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.
