NYT Connections today (game #754) – the answers

(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #754, are…

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

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

After a terrible streak it felt good to complete a round of Connections without making a mistake.
I can only conclude that today’s edition was an unusually easy one; even the purple group would be at yellow-level on some days.
My only pause for thought was over MILITARY CLOTHING DESCRIPTORS; CAMO, FATIGUE, and KHAKI all seemed common enough, but DRAB was a guess based on how dull army clothing is.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Thursday, July 3, game #753)

YELLOW: CORRESPONDENCE CONTACT, DEALINGS, EXCHANGE, INTERACTION
GREEN: AIRPORT BOARD INFO ARRIVAL, DESTINATION, FLIGHT, GATE
BLUE: PRO ATHLETE DATA COLLEGE, NUMBER, POSITION, TEAM
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.

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.
