New -Connections Today (Play #784) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #784, is …
- Yellow: mimic Copy, echo, mirror, parrot
- Blue: Mania Bug, craze, dish, fever
- Green: Sport Cricket, Golf, Polo, Squash
- Purple: single animal in a creative spelled tape nameBeetle, Bird, Gorilla, Monkey
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 Errors
As someone who spent 20 years as a music journalist, I am annoyed that I did not see the only animal in a creative spelled band name referring to the Beatles, Byrds, Gorillaz and The Monkees.
Instead, I was too busy falling into the very obvious trap to think that there was a group that connects Volkswagen cars – Polo, Beetle and Golf are definitely models, and I took a guess that Echo was too. It’s not.
My second mistake was to put together parrot, bug, cricket and beetle, and thought it was something to do with the pixar movie The life of a bug (My memory is outlined!).

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.
