New -Connections Today (Play #684) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #684, are …
- Yellow: Rubber flavor Bubblegum, cinnamon, menthol, winter green
- Green: starting point Catalyst, launchpad, spark, springboard
- Blue: Great American Songbook Songs Autumn magazines, summer, unforgettable, witchcraft
- Purple: ___ tube Fallopian, inner, test, vacuum
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
I kick myself today because I could have solved the hardest purple group early if I had been braver. Instead, I went with all the groups I was more sure of. Fallopian and testing were the safety, but inner and vacuum smaller. Instead, I chose security.
However, I am still happy to be back on a winning race after I fell last week.
Meanwhile, over in the yellow group, we had chewing gum. A couple of years ago, knowing that Wintergreen was one would have been unclear knowledge in the UK, but such has been the globalization of sweets that we are all very familiar with America’s exotic chewing gum now.
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.
