NYT Connections Today (Game #927): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #927 are…
- YELLOW: slang for money BACON, BREAD, CHEESE, PAPER
- GREEN: CHEW BITE, CAMP, CHEW, EAT
- BLUE: FISH CHAR, POLLOCK, UNIQUE, TANG
- PURPLE: WAYS TO VOCALIZE MUSICALLY PLUS ONE LETTER hump, rapture, song, hiss
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
If I had confidence in CHAR, I would have chosen that group first, but I had to leave it until the options were minimized.
Instead, it was noticing the rapping in RAPT and the singing in SINGE that made me examine each tile to see if they were hiding other WAYS OF VOCALIZING MUSICALLY PLUS A LETTER, even though I didn’t originally see the “plus a letter” element.
Getting this purple group first made me happy on Christmas Eve. I hope you did too.

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.
