New -Connections Today (Play #818) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #818, is …
- Yellow: Broken Blew, bread, burst, split
- Green: Apparition Shadow, ghost, spirit, wight
- Blue: Predict Call, divine, forecast, read
- Purple: “Best ___ Performance” Grammy Award Americana, choral, jazz, rap
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Zero error and getting the purple group first made this an excellent game for me.
That said, I didn’t have a clue what connected the four musical genres that made up the hardest group, just that they were musical genres, and I got very close to making a mistake of connecting Read, Wight and blowing as gay colors.
Fortunately, I opposed the temptation to add a word that was not a gay of a color. Hope you did too.

- Green: Available Free, Single, Solo, Deer

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.
