NYT Connections Today (Game #905): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #905 are…
- YELLOW: APPROXIMATE BASEBALL PARK, SPACIOUS, GENERAL, ROUGH
- GREEN: LIGHT OATHS FRICK, FUDGE, SHOOT, SUGAR
- BLUE: MLB PLAYER ANGEL, MET, RAY, REAL
- PURPLE: FAMILY NAME PLUS ONE LETTER EYEBROW, DADA, MOMA, SISI
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
I only know one baseball player’s name and he retired in 2001, so I’m really glad I got to see the purple group after getting to the last eight tiles.
Before that, I managed to make a mistake by thinking that MOMA and MET belonged to a group of New York institutions, so I added DADA and ROYAL without having any idea what they might be.
Luckily, I moved on pretty quickly and saw APPROXIMATE and the brilliant MILD OATHS collection, although surely “fiddlesticks” would have been a better choice than FRICK.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created 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 is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
