New -Connections Today (Play #604) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, games #604, are …
- Yellow: Preserved Store, preserve, save, store
- Green: smooth using friction Buff, file, grinding, sand
- Blue: Sports playing conditions Favorite, parlay, spread, under
- Purple: words before “fingers” Butter, chicken, lady, sticky
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
The only sticky group for me today were words before “fingers” and it was just because I had never heard of chicken fingers. If the group had included fish, I would have gotten it faster – though I think in the US is called this highlight of orange kitchen a fishing stick.
The fishing stick was invented by frozen food pioneer Clarence Birdseye and was originally made by herring. It was only a product made by COD in the 1950s, and its success was fast in the UK, where they were marketed with the slogan “No bones, no waste, no smell, no fuss”. I am not sure of the last part as it is a given that if you cleanse your freezer, you will always find some orange fished crumbs preserved in the ice even if you have not eaten a fishing finger this year. Finger Crumbs – the woolen mammoth from the modern suburb.
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.
