The answers to today's Connections, game #1093, are…

  • YELLOW: LANDFORMS BY WATER DELTA, ISLAND, ISTHMUS, PENINSULA
  • GREEN: SLANG FOR HEAD COCONUT, DOME, MELON, PATE
  • BLUE: THINGS THAT CAN BE SPIKED MOHAWK, PUNCH, SEA URCHIN, VOLLEYBALL
  • PURPLE: "THE ____ MAN" MOVIES ELEPHANT, INVISIBLE, OMEGA, RUNNING
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 3 mistakes

I was going great until I hit a wall with my final eight tiles. 

Then it took me four guesses before I got SLANG FOR HEAD, as I was convinced I was looking for something to do with tropical island life or things you need for beach parties. I got there eventually.

I should have known it was going to be a tough day after LANDFORMS BY WATER was revealed as a mere yellow; ISTHMUS seemed pretty obscure. Then, I thought I was home and dry after getting the purple group of THE ____ MAN MOVIES thinking The Omega Man would have caught some people out.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Saturday, June 6, game #1091)

  • YELLOW: TRANSLUCENT, AS FABRIC GAUZY, GOSSAMER, SHEER, THIN
  • GREEN: SPEAK EXPRESS, STATE, UTTER, VOICE
  • BLUE: DEMOLISH GUT, LEVEL, TOTAL, TRASH
  • PURPLE: MUSIC GENRE SUFFIXES CORE, POP, STEP, WAVE

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.
