NYT Connections today (game #904) – the answers
The answers to today’s Connections, game #904, are…
- YELLOW: COMPLETE TURN CIRCUIT, LAP, ORBIT, REVOLUTION
- GREEN: CIRCULAR THINGS FULL MOON, LP, PIZZA PIE, PUPIL
- BLUE: KAFKA WORKS, WITH “THE” CASTLE, JUDGMENT, METAMORPHOSIS, TRIAL
- PURPLE: STARTING WITH LETTER HOMOPHONES EYE CONTACT, PEA SOUP, SEA CHANGE, TEA LEAVES
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 mistakes
Thinking that there was a group about change today, I connected REVOLUTION, METAMORPHOSIS, JUDGEMENT and SEA CHANGE.
Then, after this mistake I came closer with ORBIT instead of PUPIL for what became CIRCULAR THINGS. This was after deciding that LP and PIZZA PIE belong together – indeed in my hometown of Brighton, England, there’s a popular restaurant called Vinyl and Pizza that brings these two worlds together.
COMPLETE TURN felt like a logical follow on, but this is where the 360-theme ended.
Pleased as I am to have solved the purple group, it was by pure chance. I didn’t see STARTING WITH LETTER HOMOPHONES, but I did see four two-word tiles.
Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Sunday, November 30, game #903)

- PURPLE: ENDING IN COLOR HOMOPHONES CAMEROON, COCKATIEL, UNREAD, WHISTLEBLEW
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.
