NYT Connections Today (Game #935): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #935 are…
- YELLOW: A LITTLE MAGIC CHARM, CURSE, CURSE, SPELL
- GREEN: REMOVE COVER Shell, shell, shell, skin
- BLUE: EQUIVALENT “ENTHUSIAST” BUFF, HEAD, HOUND, RAT
- PURPLE: BUTTER_____ FINGERS, FLY, NUT, SCOTTISH
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 mistakes
Not the best start to 2026 for me, with three errors.
It’s frustrating that all my wrong guesses were on the right track and I always got the “one away” popup. I included NUT in REMOVE COVER AND “ENTHUSIAST” EQUIVALENT, both of which work.
Struggling to get the blue group, I swapped NUT for FLY before finally trying RAT. If only I had seen the purple group, much more logical, congratulations if you had.

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 elements 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.
