New -Connections Today (Play #749) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #749, are …
- Yellow: Ice Cream Treats Float, shake, split, sundae
- Green: Flinch Bolt, jerk, jump, scary
- Blue: Dancing Movements Cabbage patch, floss, moonwalk, robot
- Purple: Set in the wake of a rainstorm Earthworm, mud, fungus, puddle
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 Errors
There were so many possible dance movements in today’s connections that I thought it could be a trap, but when I tried to put a dance group together, I got “one away”, then caught and got “one away” again.
I had no idea that cabbage plastic was a dance movement, but I think jerk and earthworms are.
Instead, I switched to other groups and found light ice cream bites and flinch (dance and flinching have a lot in common).
I arrived at the purple group, however, an elimination process, but there is no way I would have seen in the wake of a rain in any other way – mud and puddle, maybe, but I was not aware of the connections between a fungus and some rainfall.
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.
