What are the answers for today's NYT Connections groups?
Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM.
NYT Connections today (game #1035) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #1035, are…
BLUE: STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS BEAM, BRACE, COLUMN, STRUT
YELLOW: FOUND IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR ICE SCRAPER, JACK, JUMPER CABLES, SPARE TIRE
PURPLE: ENDING IN BODIES OF WATER BOMBAY, CHELSEA, SCREWDRIVER, SNOWFLAKE
I came close to connecting JACK, BEAM, and BOMBAY as they are all part of alcohol brand names, while PATRON also has an alcohol connection as it’s a tequila brand. Fortunately, I resisted the temptation and noted that BEAM could instead go with the other STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS.
Instead, my mistake came because I put SCREWDRIVER instead of JACK in the group of four things FOUND IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR. I'd say you should have a screwdriver too, but I also should have taken more time to see the more obvious piece of car equipment.
After getting the green group, BENEFACTOR, I still failed to see what connected the final four tiles — my obsession with alcohol was such that even to the end I thought the SCREWDRIVER in question must be a cocktail.
Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, April 10, game #1034)
YELLOW: PEPPERS BELL PEPPER, CAROLINA REAPER, CHIPOTLE, PEPPERONCINO
GREEN: THINGS THAT POP UP EJECTOR SEAT, JACK-IN-THE-BOX, POP-UP BOOK, TOASTER
BLUE: DESCRIPTORS FOR SWISS CHEESE FIRM, HOLEY, NUTTY, SWISS
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 i Phone 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.
