New -Connections Today (Play #811) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #811, is …
- Yellow: Music genres Emo, funk, metal, pop
- Green: not be good Bite, blow, stink, suck
- Blue: Do unusually good Eat, Rock, Rule, Kill
- Purple: Modern composers Cage, eno, glass, rich
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 Errors
The purple group fell into the category “If you know it is easy”, but in addition to the miracle by getting the most difficult quartet I fought first today and only just finished the round.
My first diversion was to think that stink and funk indicated an odor group, then I changed tack and went for music genres – but included rock instead of pop, then rock instead of funk before I finally got it right.
Age was the barrier to the final group as I confused the meaning of Eat and Bite before I was lucky. Phew!

What are new connections?
New Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four objects that share something in common, and each group has another level of difficulty: green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you do not have to technically solve the last one, as you can answer one by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of breathing room.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to get up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played free of charge via the new Games website on desktop or mobile.
