NYT Connections Today (Game #1092): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1092 are…
- YELLOW: TRANSLUCENT, LIKE FABRIC GAZA, GOSSAMER, TRANSPARENT, THIN
- GREEN: TALK EXPRESS, STATUS, TOTAL, VOICE
- BLUE: DEMOLISH GUTS, LEVEL, TOTAL, GARBAGE
- PURPLE: MUSIC GENRE SUFFIXES CORE, POP, STEP, WAVE
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Of all the MUSIC GENRE SUFFIXES, I think WAVE is the most common: Synthwave, Darkwave, Coldwave, Chillwave, Emowave, Doomwave, Dreamwave, Retrowave, New Wave, Old Wave… you can basically put any word in front of it and make up a movement. CORE, on the other hand, is more difficult to attach.
Having said all this, I was with a journalist the other day who claims that he invented the term Brit POP, a genre that originally put hundreds of other vaguely similar guitar bands under the same umbrella. It is now an era that is synonymous with one act, Oasis.
I went to see Oasis once in the early 2000s and me and the other drunk people I was with thought it would be fun to just sing the name “Barry” over every single lyric. It must have been very annoying. Such an act today would mean we would be expelled from Britain for treason.
Anyway I digress…

- GREEN: INDICATE, LIKE EMOTIONS BETRAY, SHOW, EXPRESS, RECORD

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.
