NYT Connections Today (Game #1018): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1018 are…
- YELLOW: OBFUSCATE BLUR, CLOUD, MUDDY, DARK
- GREEN: MAGAZINES FORTUNE, PEOPLE, TURN, TIME
- BLUE: PAYMENT METHODS CASH, CHARGE, CHECK, TRANSFER
- PURPLE: VOLUME UNITS WITH THE LAST LETTER CHANGED CUR, GALLOPON, PING, QUARK
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 error
Instead of CHARGE, I thought PAYMENT METHODS included PING like transferring money to someone through their phone.
As is often the case, cultural differences ruined me here, because CHARGE isn’t really the sort of thing we say in the UK and CHECK is spelled check, but to be honest, this is an excuse not to complete this easy game without errors.
You could also mention the fact that we use tablespoons instead of measuring things by cup (or CUR, as shown in VOLUME UNITS WITH THE LAST LETTER CHANGED).

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.
