The answers to today’s connections, game #773, is …
- Yellow: Fear -minded figures BOGEYRAN, BUGBEAR, HOBGOBLIN, Phantom
- Green: kind of steaks Chateaubriand, Flatiron, Porterhouse, Tomahawk
- Blue: Related to buying a home Assessment, escrow, insurance, mortgage loan
- Purple: Animals that end with animals Geoduck, Seagarse, Titmouse, Wombat
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 Errors
I made both of my mistakes today trying to gather fear -inducing numbers. I thought it had something to do with mythical beings, then geoduck and then had titmouse instead of bugbear – which in afterwards seems somewhat ridiculous.
Thanks to Google, I now know that a geoduck is a kind of mussel rather than a mythical beast, and some of the excellent animals that end with Animals Group. Congratulations to all who discovered one.
Kind of steak was the first thing I thought of when I saw Porterhouse at the start of the game, but I needed the opportunity to reduce before I could get the others. Chateaubriand – which is a thick cut of beef – is a new word for me.

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.
