New -Connections Today (Play #645) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #645, is …
- Yellow: Filament Fiber, string, string, thread
- Green: Uninhibited Abandon, freedom, spontaneity, unobstructed
- Blue: sorts of trucks Dump, garbage, monster, pickup
- Purple: tape minus number five Ben Folds, Jackson, Maroon, MC
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Seeing the name Ben Foldes in connections was a nice hum – a good human, excellent songwriter and of course forever connected to number five, making tape minus number five to the most gettable purple group (at least for me) for a month. Jackson and Maroon were also easy to find, but I guess MC before I remembered they are a heavy rock band.
Here’s a great game to play if you’re bored and with a friend – Take it in swing to name artists with numbers in their names and see how far you can count. If you forget 15 and 18, you should be able to get to Matchbox 20.
Meanwhile, seeing monster and pickup near the green group just as easily, and it probably says a lot about my own lack of spontaneity that I got uninhibited lately.
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.
