New -Connections Today (Play #781) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, game #781, are …
- Yellow: First___ Help, lady, nations, responder
- Green: Second___ Coming, fiddle, guessing, nature
- Blue: third___ Eye, Fest, Railway, Rock
- Purple: Last___ Laugh, resort, straw, dinner
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 Error
I’m annoyed that I didn’t get the day’s answer in the right order, but it was only before I got the purple group that I realized this was one of the connection’s experimental days.
My mistake came to put a party in place of straw in the last ____ group. At this point, I still thought that this was a regular game and thought the phrase was “last straw” and that “last party” sounded like it could be a movie or a book.
In addition to this, I fought with first ____. I had help, lady and responder locked inside and finally thought of adding nations to finish the set.
Yesterday’s new -connections answer (Wednesday 30th July, Game #780)
- Yellow: Instructs Coach, direct, guide, train
- Green: means Instrument, medium, organ, vehicle
- Blue: Start with Greek numeric prefixes Dioxide, monorail, tetracycline, triangle
- Purple: Anagrams of musical instruments Shock, bulge, moaning, voila
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.
