NYT Connections Today (Game #1035): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1035 are…
- BLUE: STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS BEAM, CLAMP, COLUMN, SUPPORT
- YELLOW: FOUND IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR ICE SCRAPER, JACK, JUMP CABLES, SPARE TIRE
- GREEN: BENEFACTOR ANGEL, CHAMPION, SPONSOR, SPONSOR
- PURPLE: ENDING IN BODIES OF WATER BOMBAY, CHELSEA, SCREWDRIVER, SNOWFLAKE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 error
I was about to connect JACK, BEAM and BOMBAY, since they are all part of alcohol brands, while PATRON also has a connection with alcohol, since it is a tequila brand. Fortunately, I resisted the temptation and noticed that BEAM could be combined with the other STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS.
Instead, my mistake came because I put SCREWDRIVER instead of JACK in the group of four things FOUND IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR. I’d say you should have a screwdriver too, but I also should have taken more time to look at the most obvious piece of car equipment.
After getting the green group, BENEFACTOR, I still couldn’t see what connected the last four tiles; my obsession with alcohol was such that even until the end I thought that the SCREWDRIVER in question must be a cocktail.

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.
