NYT Connections today (game #1205) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #1205, are YELLOW: THINGS WITH STALKS: BAMBOO, CELERY, CORN, WHEAT GREEN: OYSTER CONDIMENTS: HORSERADISH, LEMON, MIGNONETTE, TABASCO BLUE: DODGE MODELS: CHALLENGER, CHARGER, DURANGO, VIPER PURPLE: THREE LETTERS PLUS REPEATED TRIGRAMS: ARKANSANS, CHIHUAHUA, POSSESSES, SPRINGING My rating: Hard My score: 1 mistake I have never
actually had a Bloody Mary, but I managed to convince myself that CELERY, TABASCO, HORSERADISH and LEMON were all things that you would add to vodka
and tomato juice.

Fortunately I soon corrected my error after thinking what CELERY might have
in common with some of the other tiles.

The next two groups were put together on hunches I had no idea about DODGE MODELS, but thought that CHALLENGER, CHARGER, DURANGO and VIPER all sounded like macho names for cars. Finally, I took a gamble that MIGNONETTE was a foodstuff (I now know its a type of vinegar) and lumped it in with the other OYSTER CONDIMENTS; Im a purist myself.

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green
is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as
you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there
are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
