New -Connections Today (Play #717) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #717, is …
- Yellow: Connect Bro, sign up, link, unite
- Green: Parts of a bike Chain, pedal, saddle, wheel
- Blue: Best photo winners since 2000 Chicago, Crash, Gladiator, Moonlight
- Purple: music genres plus a letter Bluest, pope, rocky, darling
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 2 Errors
I fell into two very obvious traps today. First, I had a chain instead of uniting in the Connect group. I thought of mechanical connections, such as train spaces combined together.
How stupid I felt when the next group I got was parts of a bike.
My next mistake came to think that we were just looking for a general film connection without really knowing what the link was. With that in mind, I had Rocky instead of going down – even though the category had been the best picture winners since 1977, Rocky would have been correct.
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.
