New -Connections Today (Play #597) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, game #597, is …
- Yellow: Fun person Short, character, joker, laughs
- Green: Resistance training equipment Band, bench, dumbbell, mat
- Blue: Candy Bars minus “S” Airhead, Mar, Mound, Snicker
- Purple: Speed ___ Bump, chess, demon, clay slice
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 Errors
I really fought today and I doubt I’m alone. Joker, short and character are fine for a fun person but laughs? I spilled two mistakes on that one. I know that if someone is fun, you can say they are a good “laugh” but it still feels like a verb in a group of nouns.
Well yeah I get over it!
In the meantime, I took ages to get the candy bars minus “s” as both Haug (R) and Airhead (s) are not available in England where I am based and I was instead drawn to connect Haug with shock. I’m pretty sure Hauger is the same as our bounty bars, but I’m not sure if there is a European equivalent with aerial heads.
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.
