New -Connections Today (Play #726) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #726, is …
- Yellow: Newspaper job Spalstist, editor, photographer, reporter
- Green: Every day Common, ordinary, routine standard
- Blue: What “con” can mean Convention, criminal, disadvantage, fraud
- Purple: Ends with kind of dogs Newshound, Shadowboxer, Snickerdoodle, Trendsetter
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 Error
My only mistake today was to include Newshound rather than photographer among the list of newspaper jobs. I can now see that it was a trap, but my thinking was that the other options were about words rather than pictures.
However, making this error made the end of the end of kind of dog group when I discovered setter (trendsetter) and Boxer (Shaddowboxer) with Hound.
From here, the green everyday group was easy to pull together – you could almost say it was routine, which was lucky when the blue group was the most difficult of the day, though obvious in the wake of a completed game.
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.
