New -Connections Today (Play #805) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #805, are …
- Yellow: Wine vessels Bottle, carafe, decants, glass
- Green: Ripped Slot, rent, split, torn
- Blue: sorts of snakes Coral, stocking tape, king, rattle
- Purple: ____ Ring Booty, close, cold, curtain
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 Errors
After a light game yesterday, I expected a more cryptic round today – and so it proved. Wine vessels were easy enough to get, but the rest of today’s connections were really difficult.
I was happy when I managed to finally get kinds of snakes, but it took me three attempts before I finally achieved it. I was pretty sure of the category and had rattle, King and Coral locked down, but were clueless about the fourth.
I didn’t really know what I was looking for with the last two groups, but thought that split, column and reef should listen, I tried curtain first before I swapped in rent for no reason than a blind guess.
Yesterday’s new -connections Reply (Saturday August 23, Game #804)

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.
