New -Connections Today (Play #810) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #810, is …
- Yellow: Famous Person Figure, Name, Personality, Star
- Green: Increase Balloon, mounting, sponge, wax
- Blue: Places that sell gas 7-Eleven, Chevron, Golf, Shell
- Purple: Split 7-10, banana, licked, stock
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Fail
I crashed today after cobbling up the yellow group that had already made a few mistakes.
Irring I was on the right track for three of the groups. I thought the division was linked, but I had personality and chevron instead of 7-10 and stock. Not even getting someone away fooled me into thinking I was out of the field.
Then, with only one error left, I had balloon, sponge and mounting, but had stock instead of wax.
Being based in the UK I think I can be forgiven for missing places that sell gas, but whatever, this was a bad round for me.

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.
