New -Connections Today (Play #747) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, game #747, are …
- Yellow: In fashion Chic, current, fresh, is happening
- Green: Parts of an angel costume Halo, harp, robe, wings
- Blue: “Sesame Street” figures Bird, counting, grouch, monster
- Purple: Brothers Blood, blues, chemical, marx
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
My joy by whizzing through today’s puzzle without mistake is tempered by the fact that I didn’t get the Brothers group.
My reasoning not to put the purple quartet together is that I initially thought the inclusion of grouch, harp and Marx indicated a kind of trap. But even with this option that was removed, I still saw everything else before the connection between Marx, Blues, Chemical and Blood.
I’m sure there will be some players sticking over the idea that angels have a “costume”. It doesn’t really feel somehow, although saying that uniform would be a little more contentious.
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.
