The answers to today’s connections, games #794, are …
- Yellow: Captivate Charm, input, rivet, excitement
- Green: Excerpt Clips, excerpts, passage, quote
- Blue: Member of a girls group Bangle, Chick, Go-Go, Supreme
- Purple: Star___ Table, fish, port, beaten
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
I classify today’s round as difficult, because even though I made no mistake, I came pretty close to trying to make a group consisting of jewelery articles (charm, clips, bangle) and another about access points (gate, entrance, passage).
Fortunately, I did not fall for any of these traps – mainly because I remembered to consider the less obvious meanings of words; The rivet was the last thing I put in the imprisoned group when I was locked into believing it was a fixing agent.
I was really happy to get a member of a girls group as I would be surprised for a while over what go-go could refer to before I remember the group Go-Gos and their brilliant song Our lips are sealed.

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.
