The answers to today’s Connections, game #537, are…

YELLOW: COMPANY COMPANY, COMPANY, PROJECT, COMPANY
GREEN: UNITS HERTZ, MOLE, SECOND, VOLT
BLUE: MLB TEAM MEMBER NATIONAL, RAY, TIGER, TWIN
PURPLE: FIRST WORDS OF HBO SHOWS BOARDWALK, CURB, GAME, SILICONE

My rating: Moderate
My score: 2 errors

This was another one of those games that was on a knife edge until I got very lucky with a guess and was able to solve it with two tries to go. Things had started off quite well, yellow (COMPANY) and green (UNITS) both turned out to be very easy. The latter in particular immediately struck me because of the scientific nature of HERTZ and VOLT, although MOLE and SECOND were not quite as obvious.

However, after that I got stuck. I just couldn’t see any connection between the words. I also searched in vain for two words that could be linked and found none. I lost two attempts by playing fairly random groups, and then kind of went blue on the third; It was really a completely random guess and incredible luck. It turned out the connection was MLB TEAM MEMBER, with NATIONAL, RAY, TIGER and TWIN, but without luck I would never have gotten that. I heard about the Yankees and that’s about it! However, if Connections ever has a group about cricket (a far superior sport), I will be there…

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games from The New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: Green is easy, Yellow is slightly more difficult, Blue is often quite difficult, and Purple is usually very difficult.

On the bright side, you don’t technically have to solve the last question as you can answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.

However, it’s a bit more complicated than something like Wordle and there are lots of ways to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure answers.

It is free to play on desktop or mobile via the NYT Games website.
