New -Connections Today (Play #782) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, game #782, are …
- Yellow: Fasures Bent, faculty, flair, gift
- Green: Quiet “W” Playwright, sword, wrapping, wreath
- Blue: Legends of Classic Hollywood Dean, Gable, Garland, Temple
- Purple: Hit ____ Hay, jackpot, road, take
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 Errors
I made two mistakes today trying to put together what I thought was a group about plant -based decorations, based on the fact that the wreath and wreath were the only two words in common that I could see among the entire 16.
Fortunately, I gave up this dead end and made the connection between Gable, Dean and Temple and then the four words with a quiet W.
However, my matches were not over when I had a jackpot instead of the faculty before I realized my mistake after getting a “one away”. I hope it was a little easier for you.

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.
