NYT Connections today (game #1084) - the answers

The answers to today's Connections, game #1084, are…

YELLOW: "IN YOUR DREAMS" IMPOSSIBLE, NEVER, NO WAY, SORRY

BLUE: TYPOGRAPHICAL SYMBOLS BRACE, CARET, PIPE, TILDE

PURPLE: SONG OF THE YEAR NOMINEES AT THE FIRST GRAMMY AWARDS

I really thought that my job might help me get a purple today. Alas, there was an even tougher group than the selection of four TYPOGRAPHICAL SYMBOLS.

I thought this was difficult, but getting the purple group took three guesses — even though I only had eight tiles left after connecting SENSIBLE.

FEVER and VOLARE I knew as hits from the crooning era, but I was uncertain of the other two and included IMPOSSIBLE in the mix (I think I was thinking of The Impossible Dream by Andy Williams) before finally getting the correct four.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, May 29, game #1083)

GREEN: SOURCES OF DISTINCTIVE SMELLS AMMONIA, BO, DURIAN, WET DOG

BLUE: KINDS OF ROOMS IN A MANSION BILLIARD, DRAWING, POWDER, READING

PURPLE: WHAT "PA" MIGHT REFER TO FATHER, PENNSYLVANIA, PROTACTINIUM, PUBLIC ADDRESS

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.
