New -Connections Today (Play #639) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #639, is …
- Yellow: Variation from the norm Alternative, break, change, departure
- Green: Things that call Alarm, Bell, Intercom, Phone
- Blue: Things traditionally made of leather Football, moccasins, saddle, wallet
- Purple: Singer-Songwriter Pianists Keys, king, legend, wonder
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I had a lunch that Wonder was associated with Stevie, but my uncertainty about who could join him led me to pursue other groups.
Things traditionally made of leather were the first connection I saw, mainly down to moccasins and saddle, where my only hesitation was football when I knew they were called Pigskins in the early days.
After initially thought that both fractures and departure had holidays in common, I saw that the difference or variation from the norm was linked. In a huge departure from the norm for me, I managed to get today’s puzzle without a mistake. A unique and enjoyable experience.

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.
