New -Connections Today (Play #603) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, games #603, are …
- Yellow: Comment after an insult Burn, Ouch, Snap, Zing
- Green: Small amount, with “A” A little, small, mite, smash
- Blue: a little citrus garnish Slice, twist, wedge, zest
- Purple: bungle, with “up” Foul, lice, muck, screw
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
My first mental detour today was to connect screw, twist and wedge and my imagined category of “to put together flatpack furniture”. Then I thought we were looking for bugs – mite and lice – before Small amount, with “A” Come together after some mixture.
It took to get a little citrus garnish before I saw the final groups and I achieved zero errors nirvana. No bungle, with “up” to me today.
A nice connecting puzzle without any weirdness. I need to sleep well tonight.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.

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.
