New -Connections Today (Play #705) – The Answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #705, is …
- Yellow: sorts of plants Herb, shrub, wood, wine
- Green: Disconnect Dissolve, end, scrap, sunset
- Blue: Affiliated bulls Michael Jordan, Rodeo, Taurus, Wall Street
- Purple: Ends with building materials Hollywood, Timeglass, Kubrick, Neuroplastic
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 Error
Seeing Hollywood and wines next to each other along with sunset convinced me that we were looking for famous Los Angeles streets.
Unable to think of a fourth I added Kubrick to the group and resonated that the great instructor should have a way named after him somewhere – it turns out he does, but Stanley Kubrick Avenue is in Denham just outside London, England rather than California.
After this ding, I went for the more obvious kind of plants and ceased – which interrupted my search for streets.
I couldn’t see the very obvious connection with Michael Jordan and Bulls – a classic connecting group of four very different things with something in common – but instead saw the less obvious end with building materials after staring at the word hourglass for too long.
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.
