New -Connections Today (Play #679) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #679, is …
- Yellow: Glimpse Gander, glance, see, look
- Green: Need to tie dyeing a shirt Basin, dye, rubber band, shirt
- Blue: Things you can crack Code, eggs, joke, whip
- Purple: Words Before “Hop” Bar, bunny, hip, sock
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 Errors
I got the green group needs for tie color without knowing what I was looking for, just a process of elimination with the eight words I had left. It’s not something I’ve ever done personally and I had no idea of the process.
Glimpse was a good deal easier – interesting enough, Gander was in yesterday’s “Take a ___” threads, and the trick pair of peeps and Bunny appeared in today’s. It feels like we are getting closer to a mash-up between the two riddles — as when the role crew of Family guy appeared in The Simpsons.
Things you can crack were a great category for Easter, though I almost included hip.
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.
