NYT Connections Today (Game #910): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #910 are…
- YELLOW: MOVE REALLY AT SPEED BARREL, BOLT, HURTLE, TEAR
- GREEN: ORGAN MEATS GIZARD, HEART, TONGUE, CALLUS
- BLUE: CARPENTRY JOINT TERMS DICE, DOVETAIL, MITER, MORTISE
- PURPLE: THE ____ CAPTAIN, DORADO, GRECO, PASO
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
The first thing I thought of when I saw TONGUE was tongue and groove joinery, instead of ORGAN MEATS, so I tried to form a joinery group with DADO, DOVETAIL and BOLT.
After that failed, I saw the link between TRIPE and HEART and picked up the green group. I worked in a butcher shop for a while and one of my most enjoyable jobs was putting all of these items through a grinder to produce a product we called “pet ground meat.”
My only logic in choosing the purple group was to simply think that all the words sounded like Spanish. The five minutes I spent using DuoLingo a decade ago were not in vain.

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.
