NYT Connections today (game #832) – the answers
(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #832, are…
YELLOW: CAR BRANDS DODGE, FORD, LINCOLN, RAM
GREEN: BIT OF SPORTS BAR FARE CHIP, DIP, FRY, WING
BLUE: N.H.L. TEAM MEMBER DUCK, FLYER, SENATOR, STAR
PURPLE: SKY___ DIVE, LARK, ROCKET, SCRAPER
My rating: Hard
My score: Perfect
Connections loves singular versions of things we are used to seeing as plurals and today we go two groups of them with BIT OF SPORTS BAR FARE and N.H.L. TEAM MEMBER.
Sadly, I wasn’t familiar enough with the hockey teams in the blue group to take a risk, but knowledge of bar snack menus is universal.
My one mistake was in including SENATOR among the CAR BRANDS. I incorrectly thought that it was a short-lived 1980s company, but I think I was getting it confused with a Chevrolet car model that was made during this period. For such a tricky round one mistake isn’t bad.
Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Friday, September 19, game #831)
YELLOW: EVALUATE GRADE, RANK, RATE, SCORE
GREEN: EXHIBIT NERVOUSNESS BLUSH, FIDGET, PACE, SWEAT
BLUE: THINGS THAT CAN RUN, ANNOYINGLY DYE, MASCARA, NOSE, STOCKINGS
PURPLE: PAPER ___ CLIP, TIGER, TOWEL, TRAIL
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.

Johnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna’s addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
