New -Connections Today (Play #716) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, game #716, are …
- Yellow: Round flat things Coaster, Frisbee, Pancake, Record
- Green: Airport features Carousel, Food Court, Gate, Lounge
- Blue: Guitar -Pile Techniques Bend, pick, slide, stream
- Purple: What grades were transformed into in “Beauty and the Beast” Beast, Candelabra, Ur, Tekop
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 Error
You can argue that a frisbee is not strictly flat, unlike the other three round flat things, but it is close enough and this yellow was an easy place before I had to think.
My mistake came to put together a group of trade show areas – slip, carousel, teacup and animals. Of these, Beast was the one who didn’t feel right – so I began to think of other things that it could mean, and after dismissing MRI when the link landed Beauty and the Beast And some of the other characters in the adventure.
Sharp, Slide and Pick both felt they had something to do with guitars, but I took a risk with Bend, after overlooking the much more obvious airport features.

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.
