The answers to today's Connections, game #559, are YELLOW: LOOP BAND, CIRCLE, HOOP, RING GREEN: COOKING VESSELS CASSEROLE, CROCK, PAN, POT BLUE: KINDS OF BEDS BUNK, CANOPY, MURPHY, SLEIGH PURPLE: THINGS CALLED "OSCAR" BALONEY, GROUCH, O, STATUETTE My rating: Moderate My score: 1 mistake
Even though I only had eight words left I still struggled to find one of the two final groups of four today.
I knew BUNK and CANOPY were beds, but couldn't think of what the other two could be, and used a mistake guessing O, which I thought could be what you call those big circular beds that people with huge houses and extensive collections of soft toys might have. Its not. But I discovered that the American name for those ingenious beds that fold up against a wall is MURPHY.
Google Murphy bed and youll discover that accidents, or fear of an accident, are a major concern for owners and prospective owners. It turns out their fears are unfounded despite its slapstick reputation. A recent report studying 24 years of injuries found that zero fatalities were caused by
Murphy Beds. Ceiling fans, on the other hand, cause approximately 25 deaths per year in the US. Every days a school day! Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, 20 December, game #558) YELLOW: CONCOCTION COCKTAIL, COMPOUND, MIXTURE, SOLUTION GREEN: TYPES OF SENTENCES COMMAND, EXCLAMATION, QUESTION, STATEMENT BLUE: KINDS OF BROS CRYPTO, FINANCE, PHARMA, TECH PURPLE: COMPLAINT HOMOPHONES GROWN,MOWN, WHALE, WINE What is NYT Connections?
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.
