New -Connections Today (Play #677) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #677, are …
- Yellow: Interjections Boy, goodness, man, wow
- Green: horror movie, with “The” The “ Birds, exorcist, haunting, shiny
- Blue: Things you can choose Apple, banjo, short, nose
- Purple: Personal Property Minus “S” Associated, effect, good, possession
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
Seeing shiny, exorcist and birds was the light part. Deciding what was the fourth classic horror movie was the hard bit, and for a while I thought I was fooled into a junk group.
I plumped to haunt like the last horror films with “The” as a total guess, because it sounded a more likely effort than possession and belonging – both of which are movie titles, it turns out.
Also, movies that started with was a thread puzzle -game this week, and it included shining – are connections that run out of ideas to tease us with?
After a short dalliance of thinking that there was a group describing a key scene in the film release (Banjo, Boy), I enjoyed the tension by actually getting a purple group without it being pure luck.
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.
