New -Connections Today (Play #598) – The answers

The answers to today’s connections, game #598, is …
- Yellow: owned Bar, had, held, possessed
- Green: Things you might do in your sleep Dream, droole, cords, talk
- Blue: Film series with 2024 releases Alien, Gladiator, Venom, Wicked
- Purple: ____ House Full, pepper cake, haunted, white
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 2 Errors
After Monday is seen in the category “The Shining”, I immediately convinced myself that there was a group of words today attached by another horror classic, Exorcist perhaps? – Occupied, Evil, Droole seemed to all the guard connected. But then I thought that if connections did, they would at least have a priest and vomiting.
After watching none of the movie series with 2024 releases, I sacked the blue group by just thinking they all seemed to be connected somehow before they spied the house connection to full, pepper cake, white and haunted.
As for yellow-I am still annoyed at drilling, and in demand, Merriam-Webster doesn’t help. Back to school for me.
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.
