NYT Connections today (game #1007) - the answers

The answers to today's Connections, game #1007, are…

GREEN: STARTING WITH PREFIXES MEANING "TWO" BINARY, DIOXIDE, DUOLINGO, TWILIGHT

BLUE: FICTIONAL INSPECTORS CLOUSEAU, GADGET, JAVERT, MORSE

PURPLE: ENDING IN FEMALE ANIMALS HOOTENANNY, LICHEN, MOSCOW, NIGHTMARE

After a brief time spent pondering over DREAM and NIGHTMARE I got lucky getting my second “purple first” of the month.

I say lucky, because although I spotted the words at the end I had no idea that they were ENDING IN FEMALE ANIMALS until I pressed “submit”.

I was far more confident about STARTING WITH PREFIXES MEANING “TWO”, but I’m disappointed I didn’t see FICTIONAL INSPECTORS — although I’m sure I wasn’t the only player to not know that JAVERT features in Les Miserables, and unlike the other inspectors does not own a raincoat.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, March 13, game #1006)

GREEN: KINDS OF NUMBERS EVEN, IRRATIONAL, PERFECT, PRIME

PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF NON-NUMERIC AMOUNTS AWL, NUN, PHEW, SUM

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.
