New -Connections Today (Play #666) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #666, is …
- Yellow: Throb Beat, Pound, Pulse, Dunk
- Green: Land forms Cape, Crater, Gorge, Ridge
- Blue: Image Hanging Needs Hammer, brace, level, nail
- Purple: foot__ Ball, Hills, Locker, Print
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 Errors
A very frustrating round of connections for me. I got easy enough land forms and managed to avoid including hills, but then fell for all traps.
I put together Hammer, Pound, Beat and Thump Thinking, we were looking for words that describe being hit. With “one away” I switched to pulse. Annoying hammer would still have worked as it could also describe a heart that knocked quickly.
With only two groups left, I thought I was on safe reason, but even though I realized we were looking for words that describe hanging a picture, I had pressed instead of level.
I should have known when I saw that this was puzzle number 666 that I was in hell time. I hope it was better for you.
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.
