New -Connections Today (Play #655) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #655, are …
- Yellow: Impact Move, range, swaying, touching
- Green: You have it! Bingo, correct, ding, right
- Blue: Slang for money Change, green, paper, scratch
- Purple: Objects with the prefixed “micro-” Chip, phone, range, wave
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Fail
I crashed today after finally only getting the yellow group after a series of failed guesses.
At first I thought we were looking for words that describe minor car accidents – scratch, ding, chip, touch. I know that “touch” may sound extreme, but my car door recently touched another car door in a parking lot and it escalated very quickly.
After exhausting this opportunity, I thought “things you do with your hands” made sense, so I grouped touching, reach, scratching and wave, again getting the dreaded “groups of four” warning.
My last failed mission was “_card” with green, phone, bingo and scratches everyone who makes sense to me.
Had I survived, the blue group would have gone over my head, but I think I would have had items with the prefix “micro” eventually.
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.
