NEW Connections today (game #904) – the answers
The answers to today’s Connections, game #904, are…
- YELLOW: COMPLETE TURN CIRCUIT, BATTLE, ORBIT, REVOLUTION
- GREEN: CIRCULAR THINGS FULL MOON, LP, PIZZA PIE, PUPIL
- BLUE: KAFKA WORKS, WITH “THE” CASTLE, JUDGMENT, METAMORPHOSIS, COURT
- PURPLE: STARTS WITH LETTER HOMOPHONES EYE CONTACT, PEA SOUP, SEAFOOD, TEA LEAVES
- My assessment: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
Thinking there was a group on change today, I connected REVOLUTION, METAMORPHOSIS, JUDGMENT and SEA CHANGE.
Then, after this error, I got closer to ORBIT instead of PUPIL for what became CIRCULAR THINGS. This was after deciding that LP and PIZZA PIE belong together – yes, in my hometown of Brighton, England, there is a popular restaurant called Vinyl and Pizza that brings these two worlds together.
COMPLETE TURN felt like a logical follow-up, but here the 360 theme ended.
I’m glad to have solved the purple group, it was by pure chance. I didn’t see START WITH LETTER HOMOPHONES, but I did see four two-word tiles.
Yesterday’s NEW Connections Answers (Sunday, November 30, Game #903)

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different degree of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough, and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the last one, as you’ll be able to answer it by a process of elimination. Also, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a bit more involved than something like Wordle, though, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to let you beat yourself up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that can hide the answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
