Today’s NYT Connections answers include a fascinating mix of words and categories. One of the standout groups is the Purple Group, which features the word asiago.
As of early Tuesday, players are tasked with identifying four groups from a grid of 16 words. Each group contains four words that share a common theme.
The Purple Group consists of words starting with four-letter names of ’80s bands: ASIAGO, DEVOTE, TOTORO, and WHAMMY. This playful categorization adds an extra layer of fun to the daily challenge.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Group includes synonyms meaning next to or touching something else: FLANK, NEIGHBOR, SKIRT, and TOUCH. The Green Group encompasses different kinds of fiction, including HISTORICAL, LITERARY, PULP, and SCIENCE.
In addition to these categories, the Blue Group presents words from a planetary mnemonic: EDUCATED, MOTHER, MY, and VERY. The phrase “My Very Educated Mother” is commonly used to remember the order of planets in our solar system.
The game goes live at midnight local time each day. Players can guess incorrectly three times before the game ends—a feature that keeps the challenge engaging.
Details remain unconfirmed about how many players participated in today’s game #1047 or how they fared with these unique groupings. A Discord community exists for players to discuss strategies and share results.
Consider this your one and only warning—stay sharp and enjoy playing!
