NYT Connections today (game #755) – the answers

(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #755, are…

YELLOW: CON GAME HUSTLE, RACKET, SCHEME, STING
GREEN: COMBINE, AS BAKING INGREDIENTS BEAT, BLEND, FOLD, STIR
BLUE: YEARN BURN, ITCH, LONG, PINE
PURPLE: KINDS OF LISTS BUCKET, LAUNDRY, SHORT, TO-DO

My rating: Easy
My score: 2 mistakes

I’m classifying today’s Connections as easy, but I still struggled with it.
The purple group should have been simple, aside from the fact that there are many KINDS OF LISTS and I included two wrong ones – BURN and LONG – before I found the correct quartet.
I am a serial writer of TO-DO lists, none of which I ever complete. I saw a video recently where some terrifying life optimizer was saying that people like me should write two lists – their regular long to-do list, then another list with the three most important things from the to-do list.
It makes sense to me but I’ll never remember to do it – I’ll have to put it on my BUCKET list.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Friday, July 4, game #754)

YELLOW: PARTS OF A WHEEL HUB, RIM, SPOKE, TIRE
GREEN: MILITARY CLOTHING DESCRIPTORS CAMO, DRAB, FATIGUE, KHAKI
BLUE: USED IN VENTILATION DUCT, EXHAUST, HOSE, PIPE
PURPLE: FAIL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, AS AN OPPORTUNITY BLOW, LOSE, MISS, WASTE

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.

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.
