New -Connections Today (Play #687) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #687, are …
- Yellow: Hair products Gel, mousse, spray, wax
- Green: Tight Just, plain, simple, extra
- Blue: clues at a place of crime Fiber, fingerprints, hair, tire mark
- Purple: Tired Drilling, sinks, exhaust, deck
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I’m sure I wasn’t alone in believing that car parts could be a regular thread today, with exhaust and tires that led my thinking. Instead, it was the second meaning of both the words that made up a group.
I’m offset that I got a purple group so early in the game. Usually it is the quartet that confuses me and that I solve last when there are no other alternatives, but today it seemed pretty obvious.
Guided ways on a criminal scene were more difficult, but thoughts that they were all things that could identify us led me to connect this group.
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.
