NYT Connections today (game #749) – the answers

(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #749, are…

YELLOW: ICE CREAM TREATS FLOAT, SHAKE, SPLIT, SUNDAE
GREEN: FLINCH BOLT, JERK, JUMP, STARTLE
BLUE: DANCE MOVES CABBAGE PATCH, FLOSS, MOONWALK, ROBOT
PURPLE: SEEN IN THE AFTERMATH OF A RAINSTORM EARTHWORM, MUD, MUSHROOM, PUDDLE

My rating: Hard
My score: 2 mistakes

There were so many possible DANCE MOVES in today’s Connections that I thought it could be a trap, but when I tried putting a dance craze group together I got “one away”, so persisted and got “one away” again.
I had no idea CABBAGE PATCH was a dance move, but I do think JERK and EARTHWORM are.

Instead, I switched to other groups and easily found ICE CREAM TREATS and FLINCH (dancing and flinching have a lot in common).

I arrived at the purple group though a process of elimination, but there is no way I would have gotten SEEN IN THE AFTERMATH OF A RAINSTORM any other way – MUD and PUDDLE, maybe, but I was unaware of the links between a MUSHROOM and some rainfall.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Saturday, June 28, game #748)

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

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.
