NYT Connections today (game #475) - the answers

NYT Connections today — hints and answers for Saturday, September 28 (game #475) (4)

The answers to today's Connections, game #475, are…

  • YELLOW: COMPOSITE BLEND, COMPOUND, CROSS, HYBRID
  • GREEN: EMBED LODGE, PLANT, STICK, WEDGE
  • BLUE: ITEMS IN A MONOPOLY BOX DEED, HOTEL, HOUSE, TOKEN
  • PURPLE: ___ CONTROL BIRTH, CRUISE, QUALITY, REMOTE
  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: 1 mistake

My streak is now up to 23, a far cry from the days when I failed eight Connections puzzles in 15 days. This was, admittedly, a fairly easy one. I made one mistake, guessing HOTEL, HOUSE, LODGE and COMPOUND as places where you could live, but when that proved to be wrong I looked again and spotted the COMPOSITE connection that united BLEND, COMPOUND, CROSS and HYBRID.

HOUSE and HOTEL, meanwhile, went with DEED and TOKEN for a MONOPOLY-themed group, and I also solved the supposedly most difficult purple group, which was one of the NYT's favorite blank___ answers.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.

  • PURPLE: SCI-FI MOVIES, WITH “THE” ABYSS, FLY, MATRIX, THING

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.
