New -Connections Today (Play #722) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #722, is …
- Yellow: Expedition Travel, odyssey, quest, travel
- GREEN: KEEP Dear Esteem, premium, tax, value
- Blue: Words whose only vowel is “y” Myrrh, nymph, rhythm, sphynx
- Purple: Names ending on “K” plus words Frankincense, Jackpot, Markdown, Nickname
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
As a person who is considering going to the supermarket that looks like a mythical quest, the four words that made up the yellow expedition group were a light place. The rest of today’s puzzle? Less.
The letter y is not strictly a vowel, but is classified as such when there is no other vowel or when found at the end of a word. I looked up afterwards when the only reason I got myrrh, nymph, rhythm, sphynx as a group, is that they had a y in the middle of the word.
Of the same reasoning, I should also have been given names that end on “K” plus words, but at this point I was done – or donezo, as they say on reality -tv.
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.
