New -Connections Today (Play #622) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #622, are …
- Yellow: Member of a team with the most championships in their respective sports Canadien, Celtic, Packer, Yankee
- Green: Create some volume/texture in hair Crimp, curl, feathers, tease
- Blue: Supplies to Makaroni Art Glitter, glue, macaroni, paper
- Purple: words after “golden” Doodle, goose, parachute, rod
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I’m not a huge sports person – at least when it comes to American sport (I’m in the UK) – which is probably why I got some volume/texture in the hair as the first group today, despite not Technically, the easiest. Although I notice ‘Backcoming’ is missing, the tried and tested method in my goth -year – now long withdrawn.
However, I still managed to get a member of a team with the most championships in their respective sports (rolls quickly from the tongue), largely because of the spelling of Canadien rather than any actual knowledge.
Getting this in the bag helped me resist the urge to fall into the macaroni-shaped Yankee Doodle Hole.

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.
